    Given \[A={{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta ,\]then for all real value of \[\theta :\]

    A) \[1\le A\le 2\]

    B)                                         \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le 1\]                               

    C)         \[\frac{13}{16}\le A<1\]                              

    D)         \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le \frac{13}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have\[A={{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta \]                  ?(i) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[A=1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta \]                 \[=\frac{3}{4}+{{\left( {{\cos }^{2}}\theta -\frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] Clearly,\[A\ge 3/4\] for all real values of \[\theta .\] Again from Eq. (i) \[A={{\sin }^{2}}\theta +(1-si{{n}^{2}}\theta )co{{s}^{2}}\theta \] \[={{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] \[=1-{{(sin\theta cos\theta )}^{2}}\] Clearly,\[A\le 1\] for all real values of \[\theta .\] Hence, \[\frac{3}{4}\le A\le 1.\]
