    If \[\sin \theta =-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] and \[\tan \theta =1,\] then \[\theta \] lies in which quadrant

    A) First

    B) Second

    C) Third

    D) Fourth

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\sin \theta =-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]and \[\tan \theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sin \theta =\sin 225{}^\circ \Rightarrow \theta =225{}^\circ \] Since \[\sin \theta \]is \[-ve\]and \[\tan \theta \]is \[+ve\]in third quadrant.
