    If \[a\sin \theta +b\cos \theta =c,\]then the value of \[a\cos \theta -b\sin \theta ,\]is [SSC (CGL) 2013]

    A) \[\pm \,\,\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}\]      

    B) \[\pm \,\,\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\pm \,\,\sqrt{-\,\,{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}}\]         

    D) \[\pm \,\,\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[a\sin \theta +b\cos \theta =c\]
    On squaring both sides, we get
                \[{{a}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +2ab\sin \theta \cos \theta ={{c}^{2}}\]
    \[[\because {{(a+b)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2ab]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )+{{b}^{2}}\,\,(1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )+2ab\sin \theta \cos \theta ={{c}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}-\,\,{{b}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +2ab\sin \theta \cos \theta ={{c}^{2}}\]
    On rearranging, we get
    \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -2ab\sin \theta \cos \theta \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}={{(a\cos \theta -b\sin \theta )}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[a\cos \theta -b\sin \theta =\pm \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}\]
