    The most general value of \[\theta \]which will satisfy both the equations \[\sin \theta =-\frac{1}{2}\]and \[\tan \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]is [MNR 1980; MP PET 1989; DCE 1995]

    A) \[n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    B) \[n\pi +\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    C) \[2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\sin \theta =-\frac{1}{2}=\sin \left( -\frac{\pi }{6} \right)=\sin \text{ }\left( \pi +\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] \[\tan \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)=\tan \left( \pi +\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\Rightarrow \theta =\left( \pi +\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] Hence general value of \[\theta \] is \[2n\pi +\frac{7\pi }{6}\].
