    \[2{{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\sin }^{2}}2x=2,\,-\pi <x<\pi ,\]then \[x=\] [ISM Dhanbad 1989]

    A) \[\pm \frac{\pi }{6}\]

    B) \[\pm \frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{3\pi }{2}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have \[1-\cos 2x+1-{{\cos }^{2}}2x=2\] or \[\cos 2x(\cos 2x+1)=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos 2x=0,\,-1\],  \[\therefore \]  \[2x=\left( n+\frac{1}{2} \right)\text{ }\pi \,\text{ or}\,\,(2n+1)\text{ }\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[x=(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{4}\text{ or }(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\] Now put \[n=-2,\,-1,\,0,\,1,\,2\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=\frac{-3\pi }{4},\,\frac{-\pi }{4},\,\frac{\pi }{4},\,\frac{3\pi }{4},\,\frac{5\pi }{4}\] and \[\frac{-3\pi }{2},\,\frac{-\pi }{2},\,\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{3\pi }{2},\,\frac{5\pi }{2}\] Since\[-\pi \le x\le \pi \], therefore\[x\pm \frac{\pi }{4},\,\pm \frac{\pi }{2},\,\pm \frac{3\pi }{4}\] only.
