    If \[\sin \theta +\cos \theta =h,\] then the quadratic equation having \[\sin \theta \] and \[\cos \theta \] as its roots is

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}-hx+({{h}^{2}}-1)=0\]

    B)  \[2{{x}^{2}}-2hx+({{h}^{2}}-1)=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{2}}-hx+2({{h}^{2}}-1)=0\]

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}-2hx+({{h}^{2}}-1)=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,  \[\sin \theta +cos\theta =h\] ??(i) On squaring both sides, we get \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +2\sin \theta \,\cos \theta ={{h}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2\,\sin \theta \,\cos \theta ={{h}^{2}}-1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =\frac{{{h}^{2}}-1}{2}\] ?.(ii) The quadratic equation having the roots \[\sin \theta \] and \[\cos \theta \] is \[{{x}^{2}}-(\sin \theta +\cos \theta )x+\sin \theta \,\cos \theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-hx+\left( \frac{{{h}^{2}}-1}{2} \right)=0\] [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2{{x}^{2}}-2hx+({{h}^{2}}-1)=0\]
