    The least value of \[(4\text{ se}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta +9\,\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta )\]is

    A) 1

    B) 19

    C) 25

    D) 7

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[4{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +9\,\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta \] \[=4\,(1+ta{{n}^{2}}\theta )+9\,(1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta )\] \[=13+(4ta{{n}^{2}}\theta +9{{\cot }^{2}}\theta )\] Now, \[AM\ge GM\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{4{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +9{{\cot }^{2}}\theta }{2}\ge \sqrt{4{{\tan }^{2}}\theta \cdot 9ci{{t}^{2}}\theta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +9{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \ge 2\times \sqrt{36}\ge 12\] \[\therefore \]Minimum value of  \[4{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +9\,\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta =13+12=25\]
