    If \[\alpha ,\,\,\beta \] be the roots of the equation \[{{u}^{2}}-2u+2=0\] & if \[\cot \theta =x+1,\] then \[\frac{{{(x+\alpha )}^{n}}-{{(x+\beta )}^{n}}}{\alpha -\beta }\] is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]                   

    B) \[\frac{\cos n\theta }{{{\cos }^{n}}\theta }\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\cos }^{n}}\theta }\]                 

    D) \[\frac{\cos n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{u}^{2}}-2u+2=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow u=1\pm i\,\,\]
    \[LHS\,\,\frac{{{[(\cot \theta -1)+(1+i)]}^{n}}-{{[(\cot \theta -1)+(1-i)]}^{n}}}{2i}\]
    \[=\frac{{{(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )}^{n}}-{{(\cos \theta -i\sin \theta )}^{n}}}{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta 2i}\]
    \[=\frac{2i\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta 2i}=\frac{\sin n\theta }{{{\sin }^{n}}\theta }\]
