  1. If
    sin θ + cosθ
    = 3 then the value of sin4 q is :
    sin θ - cosθ
    1. 2
      5
    2. 1
      5
    3. 4
      5
    4. 3
      5
    5. None of these
Correct Option: E

sinθ + cosθ
=
3
sinθ - cosθ1

By componendo and dividendo
sin θ + cos θ + sin θ – cosθ
=
3 + 1
sin θ + cos θ - sin θ + cosθ3 - 1

2 sinθ
=
4
2 cosθ2

⇒ tanθ = 2
∴ cotθ =
1
2

∴ cosecθ = √1 + cot² θ

∴ sin θ =
2
5

sin4θ =
16
25
