Question 43

Mathematics Trigonometric Equations Medium

If \(\sin (\pi \cos \theta)=\cos (\pi \sin \theta)\), then \(\sin 2 \theta=\)

(A) \(\pm \frac{3}{4}\)
(B) \(\pm \frac{1}{4}\)
(C) \(\pm \frac{1}{4}\)
(D) \(\pm \frac{4}{3}\)
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Given that \(\sin (\pi \cos \theta)=\cos (\pi \sin \theta)\) \[\] \(\Rightarrow \sin (\pi \cos \theta)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2} \pm \pi \sin \theta\right)\) \[\] \(\Rightarrow \pi \cos \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \pm \pi \sin \theta\) \[\] \(\Rightarrow \cos \theta \mp \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}\) \[\] or \(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta \pm 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{1}{4}\) \[\] or \(\pm \sin 2 \theta=-\frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow \sin 2 \theta= \pm \frac{3}{4}\) \[\] Choice (A)\[\]
