    The general value of 9 in the equation \[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\,\,\tan \theta =-1\] is

    A) \[2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6},\,\,n\in I\]

    B) \[2n\pi +\frac{7\pi }{4},\,\,n\in I\]

    C) \[n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{3},\,\,n\in I\]

    D) \[n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4},\,\,n\in I\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea If \[\cos \theta \] is positive and \[\tan \theta \] is negative, then the angle lies in the \[IVth\] quadrant. Here, we have\[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\,\,\tan \theta =-1\] \[\therefore \]It lies in the \[IVth\] quadrant \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\theta ={{315}^{o}}=\frac{7\pi }{4}\] \[\therefore \]The general value of \[\theta \] is                 \[2n\pi +\frac{7\pi }{4},\,\,n\in I\]
