       If \[\sin \,3\theta =\sin \theta ,\]how many solutions exist such that \[-2\pi <\theta <2\pi \]?

    A)  \[8\]                                    

    B)  \[9\]

    C)  \[5\]                                    

    D)  \[7\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have,  \[\sin \,3\theta =\sin \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin \,3\theta -\sin \theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2\cos \left( \frac{3\theta +\theta }{2} \right)\sin \left( \frac{3\theta -\theta }{2} \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\cos 2\theta .\sin \theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \,2\,\theta =0\] or \[\sin \theta =0,\] \[\pi ,\]\[2\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \,2\,\theta =\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right)\] or \[\theta =0,\] \[\pi ,\]\[2\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2\theta =\frac{\pi }{2}\] or \[\theta =0,\] \[\pi ,\]\[2\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\theta =\frac{n\,\pi }{4}\] or \[\theta =0,\] \[\pi ,\]\[2\pi \] \[\because \]     \[-2\pi <\theta <2\pi \] \[\therefore \]  \[\theta =\frac{\pi }{4},\]\[\frac{3\pi }{4},\]\[\frac{5\pi }{4},\]\[\frac{7\pi }{4}\] or \[\theta =0,\] \[\pi ,\]\[2\pi \] Thus, total number of solutions =7
