Question : If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive acute angles, $\sin (4\alpha -\beta )=1$ and $\cos (2\alpha +\beta)=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $\sin (\alpha +2\beta)$ is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3:

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 4:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$


Solution : Given: $\sin (4\alpha -\beta )=1$ and $\cos (2\alpha +\beta)=\frac{1}{2}$
$\sin (4\alpha -\beta )=1$
⇒ $\sin (4\alpha -\beta )=\sin 90^{\circ}$
⇒ $4\alpha -\beta= 90^{\circ}$...................................... (1)
Now, $\cos (2\alpha +\beta)=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\cos (2\alpha +\beta)=\cos 60^{\circ}$
⇒ $2\alpha +\beta=60^{\circ}$....................................(2)
Solving equations 1 and 2, we get:
$6\alpha=150^{\circ}$
