    If \[2\cos \theta =x+\frac{1}{x},\]then \[2\cos 3\theta \]is equal to

    A)  \[{{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]

    B)  \[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[2\cos \theta =x+\frac{1}{x}\]
    Cubing both sides, \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta ={{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}\]
    \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta ={{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3x\cdot \frac{1}{x}\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)\]
    \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta ={{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}+3\,\,(2\cos \theta )\] [from Eq.(i)]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -6\cos \theta ={{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2\,\,[4{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -3\cos \theta ]={{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2\,\,[\cos 3\theta ]={{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]
