  1. If
    cos θ
    +
    cos θ
    = 4 , then the value of θ (0° < θ < 90 ° ) is
    1 - sin θ1 + sin θ

    1. 60°
    2. 45°
    3. 30°
    4. 35°
Correct Option: A

cos θ
+
cos θ
= 4
1 - sin θ1 + sin θ

cos θ(1 + sin θ) + cos θ(1 - sin θ)
= 4
(1 - sin θ)(1 + sin θ)

cos θ + cos θ.sin θ + cos θ - cos θ.sin θ
= 4
(1 - sin2 θ)

2cos θ
= 4
cos2 θ

1
= 2
cos θ

⇒ cos θ =
1
= cos 60° ⇒ θ = 60°
2
