If \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & -\tan \theta \\ \tan \theta & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & \tan \theta \\ -\tan \theta & 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a & -b \\ b & a\end{array}\right]\) then

  1. A \(a=1=b\)
  2. B \(a=\cos 2 \theta, b=\sin 2 \theta\)
  3. C \(a=\sin 2 \theta, b=\cos 2 \theta\)
  4. D \(a=\cos \theta, b=\sin \theta\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(a=\cos 2 \theta, b=\sin 2 \theta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & \tan \theta \\ -\tan \theta & 1\end{array}\right]^{-1}=\frac{1}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta} \quad\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & -\tan \theta \\ \tan \theta & 1\end{array}\right]\)…
