    If\[x+\frac{1}{x}=2\cos \theta ,\]then\[x\]is equal to

    A)  \[cos\text{ }\theta +i\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \]    

    B)  \[cos\text{ }\theta -i\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \]

    C)  \[cos\text{ }\theta \pm i\text{ }sin\text{ }\theta \]    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given\[x+\frac{1}{x}=2\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-2x\cos \theta +1=0\] \[\therefore \] \[x=\frac{2\cos \theta \pm \sqrt{4co{{s}^{2}}\theta -4}}{2}\] \[=\cos \theta \pm \frac{\sqrt{-4(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )}}{2}\] \[=\cos \theta \pm \frac{2i\sin \theta }{2}\] \[=\cos \theta \pm \sin \theta \]
