    If \[a\,\cos \theta +b\sin \,\theta =m\] and \[b\,\cos \theta -a\,\sin \theta =n,\] then what will be the value of  \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]?

    A)  \[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[{{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[mn\]

    D)  \[m+n\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[a\,\cos \,\theta \,+b\,\sin \theta \,=m\] ...(i) : and     \[a\,\cos \,\theta \,-b\,\sin \theta =n\]            ...(ii) On squaring and adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[{{(a\,\cos \,\theta \,+b\,\sin \theta )}^{2}}+\,{{(b\,\cos \theta -a\,\sin \,\theta )}^{2}}={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\] i.e., \[{{a}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\,\theta +{{b}^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +2ab\,\sin \,\theta \cdot \cos \,\theta +{{b}^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\,\theta \]\[+{{a}^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\,\theta \] \[-2ab\,\sin \,\theta \cdot \cos \theta ={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\] \[({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})\,{{\cos }^{2}}\,\theta +\,({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})\,{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})\,({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )\,={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\] i.e., \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]
