    If \[2y\,\cos \theta =x\sin \,\theta \text{ and }2x\sec \theta -y\,\text{cosec}\,\theta =3,\] then \[{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}=\]   [WB JEE 1988]

    A) 4

    B) - 4

    C) ± 4

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that \[2y\,\,\cos \theta =x\,\sin \theta \] ?..(i) and \[2x\,\sec \theta -y\,\,\text{cosec}\,\theta =3\] ?..(ii) \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{2x}{\cos \theta }-\frac{y}{\sin \theta }=3\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,2x\,\sin \theta -y\,\cos \theta -3\,\sin \theta \cos \theta =0\] ?..(iii) Solving (i) and (iii), we get \[y=\sin \theta \] and \[x=2\,\,\cos \theta \] Now, \[{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}=4\,\,{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +4\,\,{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \]                                       \[=4\,({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )=4\].
