    Value of \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -2{{\sin }^{4}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{4}}\theta -{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\]is                                                         [SSC (CGL) Mains 2014]

    A) \[1\]     

    B) \[2\]    

    C) \[-\,\,1\]                        

    D) \[0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -2{{\sin }^{4}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{4}}\theta -{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\]
    \[={{\sec }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \,(1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \,(2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1)}\]
    \[={{\sec }^{2}}\theta -\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cdot \cos 2\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \cdot \cos 2\theta }\]
    \[[\because \cos 2\theta =1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1]\]
                            \[={{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1\]
