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

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] We have,\[a\cos \theta +b\sin \theta =m\]...(1)
    \[a\sin \theta -b\cos \theta =n\]  ...(2)
    Squaring and adding eqs. (1) and (2), we get
    \[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}=({{a}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +2ab\cos \theta \sin \theta )\]\[+({{a}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -2ab\sin \theta \cos \theta )\]
    \[={{a}^{2}}({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )+{{b}^{2}}({{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )\]
    \[={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]\[[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =1]\]
    Hence,  \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]
