0

B

1

C

3

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`3[sin^4(3/2pi-alpha)+sin^4(3pi+alpha)]`
`-2[sin^6(1/2pi-alpha)+sin^6(5pi-alpha)]`
`=3(cos^4alpha+sin^4alpha)-2(cos^6alpha+sin^6alpha)`
`3(1-2sin^2alphacos^2alpha)-2[(sin^2alpha+cos^2alpha)^3`
`-3sin^2alphacos^2alpha(sin^2alpha+cos^2alpha)]`
`=3(1-2sin^2alphacos^2alpha)-2[1-3sin^2alphacos^2alpha]`
=1
