    If \[\left| \begin{matrix}    1+{{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\,\sin \,2\theta   \\    {{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & 1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    {{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] and     \[0<\theta <\frac{\pi }{2},\] then \[\cos \,\,4\theta \] is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]                                    

    B)  \[0\]

    C)  \[\frac{-1}{2}\]                                

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[\left| \begin{matrix}    1+{{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    {{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & 1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    {{\sin }^{2}}\theta  & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] Applying \[{{C}_{1}}\to {{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    2 & 1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    1 & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin \,2\theta -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] Applying \[{{R}_{2}}\to {{R}_{2}}-{{R}_{1}},{{R}_{3}}\to 2{{R}_{3}}-{{R}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta   \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    0 & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & 4\sin 2\theta -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2(4\sin 2\theta -2-0)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\sin 2\theta =\frac{1}{2}\] Now,  \[\cos 4\theta =1-2{{\sin }^{2}}2\theta \]                 \[=1-2{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
