Q1 FREE PREVIEW

If \(10{\sin }^{4}\theta +15{\cos }^{4}\theta =6\), then the value of \(\frac{27{\csc }^{6}\theta +8{\sec }^{6}\theta }{16{\sec }^{8}\theta }\) is:

[JEE Main 2025, 4 Apr (Shift 1)]

a

\(\frac{2}{5}\)

b

\(\frac{3}{4}\)

c

\(\frac{3}{5}\)

d

\(\frac{1}{5}\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Explanation

\(10{\sin }^{4}\theta +15{\cos }^{4}\theta =6\)

\(\Rightarrow 10\left[1-2 \sin ^2 \theta \cos ^2 \theta\right]+5 \cos ^4 \theta=6\)

\(\Rightarrow 25 \cos ^4 \theta-20 \cos ^2 \theta+4=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(5 \cos ^2 \theta-2\right)^2=0\)

\(\Rightarrow {\cos }^{2}\theta =\frac{2}{5}\) and \({\sin }^{2}\theta =\frac{3}{5}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{27{\csc }^{6}\theta +8{\sec }^{6}\theta }{16{\sec }^{8}\theta }\\ =\frac{27\cdot {\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)}^{3}+8\cdot {\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}^{3}}{16\cdot {\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)}^{4}}\\ =\frac{2}{5}\)
