Let x = a sin α θ cos α + 1 θ ,   y = a sin α + 1 θ cos α θ ,…

Let x=asinαθcosα+1θ, y=asinα+1θcosαθ, θnπ2. If x2+y2m(xy)n is independent of θ, then the relation between α, m and n is
  1. 2mα=n(2α+1)
  2. m+n=α
  3. 2mα=2nα+m
  4. 2m=(2n+1)α

Solution

It is given that x=asinaθcosa+1θ and y=asina+1θcosaθ

Now, x2+y2m(xy)n

Substitute the values in the above expression.

=asinaθcosa+1θ2+asina+1θcosaθ2masinaθcosα+1θ·asina+1θcosaθn

Simplify the above equation.

x=a2msin2aθcos2aθmsin2θ+cos2θma2nsin2a+1θcos2a+1θn

=a2m-2nsin2aθcos2aθm-n(sinθcosθ)n

=a2m-2n(sinθcosθ)2a(m-n)-n

For independent value of θ

2α(m-n)-n=0

2αm-2αn=n

2αm=n(2α+1)
