JEE Main 2024 — 5 April, Shift 2 — Question 19

If y(θ)=2cos⁡θ+cos⁡2θcos⁡3θ+4cos⁡2θ+5cos⁡θ+2y(\theta)=\frac{2 \cos \theta+\cos 2 \theta}{\cos 3 \theta+4 \cos 2 \theta+5 \cos \theta+2}, then at θ=π2,y′′+y′+y\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}, y^{\prime \prime}+y^{\prime}+\mathrm{y} is equal to:

  1. Option A:

    32\frac{3}{2}

  2. Option B:

    1

  3. Option C:

    12\frac{1}{2}

  4. Option D:

    2

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

y=2cos⁡θ+2cos⁡2θ−14cos⁡3θ−3cos⁡θ+8cos⁡2θ−4+5cos⁡θ+2\mathrm{y}=\frac{2 \cos \theta+2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1}{4 \cos ^{3} \theta-3 \cos \theta+8 \cos ^{2} \theta-4+5 \cos \theta+2}

y=(2cos⁡2θ+2cos⁡θ−1)(2cos⁡2θ+2cos⁡θ−1)(2cos⁡θ+2)y=\frac{\left(2 \cos ^{2} \theta+2 \cos \theta-1\right)}{\left(2 \cos ^{2} \theta+2 \cos \theta-1\right)(2 \cos \theta+2)}

y=12(11+cos⁡θ)\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1+\cos \theta}\right)

⇒θ=π2y=12\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \quad y=\frac{1}{2}

y′=12(−1(1+cos⁡θ)2×(−sin⁡θ))y^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{-1}{(1+\cos \theta)^{2}} \times(-\sin \theta)\right)

⇒θ=π2y=12\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \quad y=\frac{1}{2}

y′′=12[cos⁡θ(1+cos⁡θ)2−sin⁡θ(2)(1+cos⁡θ)(−sin⁡θ)(1+cos⁡θ)4]\begin{aligned} y^{\prime \prime} & =\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{\cos \theta(1+\cos \theta)^{2}-\sin \theta(2)(1+\cos \theta)(-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)^{4}}\right] &\end{aligned}

⇒θ=π2y=1\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \quad y=1
