  1. If 2y cosθ = x sinθ and 2x secθ – ycosecθ = 3, then the value of (x2 + 4y2) is
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
Correct Option: D

2y cosθ = x sinθ ..(i)
2x secθ – y cosecθ = 3

⇒ 2 .
2y cosθ
.secθ – y cosecθ = 3
sinθ

⇒ 4y cosecθ - y cosecθ = 3
⇒ 3y cosecθ = 3
⇒ y =
3
= sinθ
3cosecθ

From equation (i),
2 sinθ . cosθ = x sinθ
⇒ x = 2cosθ
∴ x2 + 4y2 = 4cos2 θ + 4sin2 θ
x2 + 4y2 = 4(cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 4
