Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a = \sec ^2 \\theta-\\sin ^2 \\theta, 2h = -2 \\tan \\theta, b = \\sin ^2 \\theta\) \((m_1 - m_2)^2 = \frac{4(h^2 - ab)}{b^2}\) \((m_1 - m_2)^2 = \frac{4\left((-\\tan \\theta)^2 - (\sec ^2 \\theta-\\sin ^2 \\theta)(\\sin ^2 \\theta)\right)}{(\\sin ^2 \\theta)^2}\)…
