    Which of the following is CORRECT statement?
    (i) \[3{{(\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}^{4}}+6{{(\sin \theta +\cos \theta )}^{2}}\] \[+4({{\sin }^{6}}\theta +{{\cos }^{6}}\theta )\] is independent of \[\theta \].
    (ii) If \[\cos ec\,\theta -\sin \theta ={{a}^{3}},\] \[\sec \theta -\cos \theta ={{b}^{3}},\]then \[{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})=2\]

    A) Only (i)                       

    B) Only (ii)          

    C)         Both (i) and (ii)

    D)         Neither (i) or (ii)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know, \[3{{(\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}^{4}}=3{{({{(\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}^{2}})}^{2}}\]             \[=3({{1}^{2}}+4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta -4\sin \theta \cos \theta )\]  ?.(i) and, \[6{{(\sin \theta +\cos \theta )}^{2}}=6+12\sin \theta \cos \theta \] ..?(ii) Also,\[4({{\sin }^{6}}\theta +{{\cos }^{6}}\theta )=4+({{({{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}^{3}}+{{({{\cos }^{2}}\theta )}^{3}})\] \[=4(1)-12{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]        ?..(iii) Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get \[3+12{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta -12\sin \theta \cos \theta +6\] \[+12\sin \theta \,\,\cos \theta +4-12\,{{\sin }^{2}}\theta {{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]             \[=3+6+4=13\] and 13 is independent of \[\theta \]. (ii) We have,             \[\cos ec\,\theta -\sin \theta =\frac{1}{\sin \theta }-\sin \theta =\frac{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{3}}=\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta }\]  or  \[{{a}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta } \right)}^{2/3}}\] Similarly, \[\sec \theta -\cos \theta =\frac{1}{\cos \theta }\cos \theta =\frac{1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[{{b}^{3}}=\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta }\]  or  \[{{b}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta } \right)}^{2/3}}\] \[{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})={{\left( \frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta }\times \frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta } \right)}^{2/3}}\]             \[\left( {{\left( \frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta } \right)}^{2/3}}+{{\left( \frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta } \right)}^{2/3}} \right)\] \[={{(\sin \theta .\cos \theta )}^{2/3}}\left( \frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{{{(\sin \theta .\cos \theta )}^{2/3}}} \right)=1\]
