Question : If $\sin \theta +\sin ^{2}\theta =1$, then the value of $\cos ^{2}\theta +\cos ^{4}\theta$ is:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $\sin \theta +\sin ^{2}\theta =1$ We know that, $\sin ^{2}\theta+\cos ^{2}\theta=1$ ⇒ $\sin \theta=1-\sin ^{2}\theta=\cos ^{2}\theta$ To find: $\cos ^{2}\theta +\cos ^{4}\theta$ $=\cos ^{2}\theta(1 +\cos ^{2}\theta)$ Putting the values, we get: $=\sin\theta(1 +\sin\theta)$ $\sin \theta +\sin ^{2}\theta = 1$ Hence, the correct answer is
