Statement-1: The number of common solutions of the trigonometric equations $2 \sin ^2 \theta$ $-\cos 2 \theta=0$ and $2 \cos ^2 \theta-3 \sin \theta=0$ in the interval $[0,2 \pi]$ is two. Statement-2: The number of solutions of the equation, $2 \cos ^2 \theta-3 \sin \theta=0$ in the interval $[0, \pi]$ is two.
  1. Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
  2. Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1.
  3. Statement-1 is false; Statement-2 is true.
  4. Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is false.

Solution

$2 \sin ^2 \theta-\cos 2 \theta=0$ $\Rightarrow 2 \sin ^2 \theta-\left(1-2 \sin ^2 \theta\right)=0$ $\Rightarrow 2 \sin ^2 \theta-1+2 \sin ^2 \theta=0$ $\Rightarrow 4 \sin ^2 \theta=1 \Rightarrow \sin \theta=\pm \frac{1}{2}$ $\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}, \theta \in[0,2 \pi]$ $\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6}, \frac{7 \pi}{6}, \frac{11 \pi}{6}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \text { Now } 2 \cos ^2 \theta-3 \sin \theta=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 2\left(1-\sin ^2 \theta\right)-3 \sin \theta=0 \\ \Rightarrow & -2 \sin ^2 \theta-3 \sin \theta+2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & -2 \sin ^2 \theta-4 \sin \theta+\sin \theta+2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 \sin ^2 \theta-\sin \theta+4 \sin \theta-2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & \sin \theta(2 \sin \theta-1)+2(2 \sin \theta-1)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2},-2 \end{aligned} $ But $\sin \theta=-2$, is not possible $ \therefore \quad \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}, \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6} $ Hence, there are two common solution, there each of the statement-1 and 2 are true but statement- 2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1
