    If\[\sqrt{3}\tan \theta =2\,\sin \theta \], then the value \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    B) \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    D) \[\frac{-3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[\sqrt{3}\tan \theta =2\sin \theta \] \[\sqrt{3}\frac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }=2\sin \theta \] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\cos \theta =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\cos \theta =\cos 30{}^\circ \Rightarrow \theta =30{}^\circ \] \[={{\sin }^{2}}\theta -{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] \[={{\sin }^{2}}30{}^\circ -{{\cos }^{2}}30{}^\circ \] \[={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}\]
