Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
Solution :
$\cos^{4}\theta-\sin^{4}\theta=\frac{2}{3}$
⇒ $(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)(\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta) = \frac{2}{3}$
We know that, $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta= 1$
⇒ $(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
Putting the value of $\cos^{2}\theta = 1-\sin^{2}\theta$
⇒ $(1-\sin^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore(1-2\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.
