    The equation \[{{\tan }^{4}}x-2{{\sec }^{2}}x+{{a}^{2}}=0\] will have atleast one solution, if

    A) \[|a|\,\,\le 4\]                 

    B) \[|a|\,\,\le 2\]

    C) \[|a|\,\,\le \sqrt{3}\]                    

    D) \[|a|\,\,\le \sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\tan }^{4}}x-2{{\sec }^{2}}x+{{a}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\tan }^{4}}x-2(1+{{\tan }^{2}}x)+{{a}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\tan }^{4}}x-2{{\tan }^{2}}x+1=3-{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{({{\tan }^{2}}x-1)}^{2}}=3-{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3-{{a}^{2}}\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}^{2}}\le 3\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|a|\,\,\le \sqrt{3}\]
