If x=2nπ±cos1(1/3)\Rightarrow x = 2n\pi \pm \cos^{- 1}(1/3), then the general value of cosθ+cos2θ+cos3θ=0\cos\theta + \cos 2\theta + \cos 3\theta = 0 will be in.

A

A. P.

B

G. P.

C

H. P.

D

None of these

Answer

A. P.

Explanation

Solution

3sin(A15o)cos(A15o)=sin(A+15o)cos(A+15o)3sin(A15o)cos(A+15o)\frac{3\sin(A - 15^{o})}{\cos(A - 15^{o})} = \frac{\sin(A + 15^{o})}{\cos(A + 15^{o})}3\sin(A - 15^{o})\cos(A + 15^{o}) =cos(A15o)sin(A+15o)= \cos(A - 15^{o})\sin(A + 15^{o})

Hence different values of \Rightarrow are in A.P. with 2sin(A15o)cos(A+15o)=122\sin(A - 15^{o})\cos(A + 15^{o}) = \frac{1}{2} as common difference.
