    If  \[\tan \theta \cdot \tan 2\theta =1,\]then the value of \[{{\sin }^{2}}2\theta +{{\tan }^{2}}2\theta \] is equal to

    A) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{10}{3}\]

    C) \[3\frac{3}{4}\]

    D) \[3\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\tan \theta \cdot \tan 2\theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\tan \theta \frac{2\tan \theta }{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2{{\tan }^{2}}=1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\tan \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\theta =30{}^\circ \] Now, \[{{\sin }^{2}}2\theta +{{\tan }^{2}}2\theta \] \[={{(sin60{}^\circ )}^{2}}+{{(tan60{}^\circ )}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}=\frac{3}{4}+3\] \[=\frac{3+12}{4}=\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}\]
