Question:

If $2 \cos ^2 \theta-1=0$, then find the value of $2 \sin ^2 \theta+\sin 2 \theta$.

Options:

0

3

1

2

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

2cos²θ - 1 = 0

2cos²θ = 1

cos²θ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

cosθ = \(\frac{1}{√2}\) = cos 45º

θ = 45º

Now,

2sin²θ + sin2θ

= 2sin²45º + sin90º

= 2 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 1

= 1 + 1

= 2

The correct answer is Option (4) → 2
