    If \[\cos \,\theta -\sin \theta =\sqrt{2}\,\sin \theta \], then \[\cos \,\theta +\sin \theta \] is

    A) \[\sqrt{2}\cos \,\theta \]

    B) \[\sqrt{2}sin\,\theta \]

    C) \[0\]

    D) \[1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given, \[\cos \theta -\sin \theta =\sqrt{2}\,\sin \theta \] Squaring, we get \[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -2\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \] or            \[1-2\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =2(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )\] or            \[1+2\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] or            \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +2\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =2\,{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] or            \[{{(\sin \theta +\cos \theta )}^{2}}=2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] \[\therefore \] \[\sin \theta +\cos \theta =\sqrt{2}\,\cos \theta \]
