    The number of solutions of\[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +3\cos \theta =3\]in\[[-\pi ,\,\,\pi ]\], is

    A)  4            

    B)                  2                

    C)  0            

    D)                         None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +3\cos \theta =3\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +3\cos \theta =3\] \[\Rightarrow \]           \[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -3\cos \theta +2=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]        \[(\cos \theta -1)(\cos \theta -2)=0\] \[\therefore \]                             \[\cos \theta =1\]     \[(\because \,\,\cos \theta \ne 2)\] \[\Rightarrow \]                   \[\theta ={{0}^{o}}\]as\[\theta \in [-\pi ,\,\,\pi ]\] \[\therefore \] The number of solution is 1.
