    The values of for \[x\] which satisfy the equation  \[\underset{\theta \,\in \,R}{\mathop{\max }}\,(3cos\theta +4cos(\theta -x)\}=7\]are given by

    A)  \[2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}\]                        

    B) \[\pm \,2n\pi \]

    C)  \[\pm \,(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]                   

    D)  \[2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[3\cos \theta +4\cos (\theta -x)\] \[=(3+4\cos x)\cos \theta +4\sin x.\sin \theta \] \[=\sqrt{25+24\cos x}\sin (\alpha +\theta )\] where \[\sin \theta =\frac{3+4\cos x}{\sqrt{25+24\cos x}}\] and \[\cos \theta =\frac{4\sin x}{\sqrt{25+24\cos x}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\underset{\theta \in R}{\mathop{\max }}\,(3\cos \theta +4\cos (\theta -x)\}=7\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sqrt{25+24\cos x}=7\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos x=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\pm \,2n\pi .\]
