    If \[\sin \theta +\cos \theta =\sqrt{2}\cos \alpha \], then the general value of \[\theta \] is

    A) \[2n\pi -\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \,\,\alpha \]

    B) \[2n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \alpha \]

    C) \[n\pi -\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \alpha \]

    D) \[n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \alpha \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\sin \theta +\cos \theta =\sqrt{2}\cos \alpha \Rightarrow \cos \left( \theta -\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\cos \alpha \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta -\frac{\pi }{4}=2n\pi \pm \alpha \Rightarrow \theta =2n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}\pm \alpha \].
