In \(\triangle P Q R\), let \(\angle P>\angle Q\). If the radian measures of \(\angle P\) and \(\angle Q\) satisfy the equation \(4 \sin ^3 x-3 \sin x+a=0,0 < a < 1\), then the radian measure of \(\angle R\) is
  1. \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  2. \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  3. \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
  4. \(\frac{5 \pi}{6}\)

Solution

Given, \(4 \sin ^3 x-3 \sin x+a=0\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & a & =3 \sin x-4 \sin ^3 x \\ \Rightarrow & & a & =\sin 3 x \\ & \ddots & \sin 3 P & =a=\sin 3 Q \end{aligned}\) [since \(P\) and \(Q\) satisfy the equation] \(\begin{array}{lc} \Rightarrow & \sin 3 P=\sin 3 Q \\ \Rightarrow & \sin 3 P=\sin (\pi-3 Q) \\ \Rightarrow & 3 P=\pi-3 Q \\ \Rightarrow & 3(P+Q)=\pi \\ \Rightarrow & P+Q=\frac{\pi}{3} \quad \ldots (i) \\ \because & \angle P+\angle Q+\angle R=\pi \\ \therefore & \angle R=\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \end{array}\)
