    If a \[\cos \theta +b\sin \theta =m\] and a \[\sin \theta -b\cos \theta =n,\] then \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\] is equal to ______.

    A) \[{{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}\]             

    B) \[{{m}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}\]  

    C)  \[{{n}^{2}}-{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)         \[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]          

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[a\,\cos \theta +b\sin \theta =m\] Squaring both sides, we get \[{{a}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +2ab\,\,\cos \theta sib\theta ={{m}^{2}}\] ??(i)             \[a\sin \theta -b\cos \theta =n\]             Squaring both sides, we get             \[{{a}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -2ab\cos \theta sin\theta ={{n}^{2}}\]  ??(ii)             Adding (i) and (ii), we get             \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{m}^{2}}9{{n}^{2}}\]
