    If \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =2{{\tan }^{2}}\varphi +1,\] then \[\cos 2\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi \] equals

    A) -1

    B) 0

    C) 1

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =2{{\tan }^{2}}\varphi +1\Rightarrow 1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =2\,(1+{{\tan }^{2}}\varphi )\] Þ \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta =2{{\sec }^{2}}\varphi \Rightarrow {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] Þ \[{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =1+\cos 2\theta \Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +\cos 2\theta =0\]. Trick: Let\[\theta ={{45}^{o}}\], then \[\varphi =0\] \[\therefore \ \cos (2\times {{45}^{o}})+{{\sin }^{2}}0=0+0=0\].
