    The number of integral triplets \[(a,\,\,b,\,\,c)\] such that\[a+b\cos 2x+c{{\sin }^{2}}x=0\]for all\[x,\]is

    A) \[0\]

    B)  \[1\]

    C) \[3\]

    D)   infinitely many

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have, \[a+b\cos 2x+c{{\sin }^{2}}x=0\]for all\[x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a+b(1-2{{\sin }^{2}}x)+c{{\sin }^{2}}x=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a+b+(c-2b){{\sin }^{2}}x=0\]for all\[x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a+b=0\]and\[c-2b=0\] Thus, the triplets are\[(-b,\,\,b,\,\,2b)\], where\[b\in R\]. Hence, there are infinitely many triplets.
