    If\[x{{\sin }^{3}}\theta +y{{\cos }^{^{3}}}\theta =\sin \theta \cos \theta \ne 0\]and \[x\sin \theta -y\cos \theta =0,\]then value of is

    A) \[\sin \theta -\cos \theta \]

    B) \[\sin \theta +\cos \theta \]

    C) \[0\]

    D) \[1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given, \[x{{\sin }^{3}}\theta +yy{{\cos }^{3}}\theta =\sin \theta \cos \theta \]          …(i) and   \[x\sin \theta -y\cos \theta =0\]                     ...(ii) From Eq. (ii), we get \[x\sin \theta =y\cos \theta \]                                ...(iii) On putting this value in Eq. (i), we get \[y\cos \theta .{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +y{{\cos }^{3}}\theta =\sin \theta \cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y\cos \theta \,(si{{n}^{2}}\theta +co{{s}^{2}}\theta )=\sin \theta \cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y=\sin \theta \] From Eq. (iii), we get \[x=\cos \theta \] \[\therefore \]      \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]
