⇒ α (4 cos3 θ − 3cos θ )2 + β cos 4 θ = 16 cos 6 θ + 9 cos 2 θ
⇒ α (16 cos 6 θ + 9 cos 2 θ − 24 cos 4 θ ) + β cos 4 θ = 16 cos 6 θ + 9 cos 2 θ
⇒ 16α cos 6 θ + ( β − 24α ) cos 4 θ + 9α cos 2 θ = 16 cos 6 θ + 9 cos 2 θ
Comparing coefficients of cos 6 θ , cos 6 θ , and cos 2 θ on both sides, we get:
16α = 16, β − 24α = 0, 9α = 9
Solving these equations, we get: α = 1, β = 24.

Since α and β are the values of θ which satisfy the given equation, so sin α and sin β are the roots of

276. Ans. (b)Given a cos θ + b sin θ = c …(1)

Let a sin θ − b cos θ = k …(2)
To find k , squaring and adding (1) and (2) we get
a 2 cos 2 θ + b 2 sin 2 θ + 2ab sin θ cos θ + a 2 sin 2 θ + b 2 cos 2 θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = c 2 + k 2
a 2 ( cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ ) + b 2 ( sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ ) = c 2 + k 2
( a sin θ − b cos θ ) = a 2 + b 2 − c 2 , (Using (2))
