    The values of \[\theta \] satisfying \[\sin 7\theta =\sin 4\theta -\sin \theta \] and \[0<\theta <\frac{\pi }{2}\] are [EAMCET 1990]

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{9},\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{\pi }{9}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{\pi }{9}\]

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\sin 7\theta +\sin \theta -\sin 4\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[2\sin 4\theta \cos 3\theta -\sin 4\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[\sin 4\theta (2\cos 3\theta -1)=0\Rightarrow \sin 4\theta =0,\,\text{ }\cos 3\theta =\frac{1}{2}\] Now sin\[4\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[4\theta =\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{\pi }{4}\]. and \[\cos 3\theta =\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3\theta =\frac{\pi }{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{\pi }{9}\].
