    If \[\sin A+\sin 2A=x\] and \[\cos A+\cos 2A=y,\] then \[({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-3)=\]

    A) \[2y\]

    B) \[y\]

    C) \[3y\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Squaring and adding, we get \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1+1+2\,\cos \,(2A-A)\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2}{2}=\cos \,A\] ?..(i) Also \[\cos A+2\,{{\cos }^{2}}A-1=y\] or \[(\cos A+1)\,(2\,\cos A-1)=y\] Put for cos A from (i) and get the answer.
