If `sin theta+sin2theta+sin3theta=sin alpha` and `cos theta+cos 2theta+cos3theta=cos alpha`, then `theta` is equal to

A

`alpha//2`

B

`alpha`

C

`2alpha`

D

`alpha//6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`sin theta + sin 3theta sin 2theta = sin alpha`
`rArr 2sin 2theta cos theta + sin 2 theta = sin alpha`
`rArr sin 2th3eta (2cos theta+1) = sin alpha`
Now `cos theta + cos 3thetas + cos 2theta = cos alpha` …(1)
`2cos 2theta cos theta + cos theta + cos 2theta = cos alpha`
`cos 2theta (2cos theta + 1)=cos alpha` ....(2)
F?rom (1) and (2),
`tan 2theta = tan alpha rArr 2theta = alpha rArr theta =alpha//2`
