If sintheta=1/2a n dcostheta=-(sqrt(3))/...

If `sintheta=1/2a n dcostheta=-(sqrt(3))/2,` then the general value of `theta` is `(n in Z)dot` `2npi+(5pi)/6` (b) `2npi+pi/6` `2npi+(7pi)/6` (d) `2npi+pi/4`

A

`2n pi+(5pi)/6`

B

`2n pi+pi/6`

C

`2n pi+(7pi)/6`

D

`2npi+pi/4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`sin theta=1//2` and `cos theta=-sqrt(3)//2`
`rArr theta` lies in the second quadrant.
`rArr sin theta=sin 5pi//6`,
`:. Theta=2npi+(5pi//6), n in Z`
