  2. B \(33\)
  3. C \(34\)
  4. D \(35\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(32\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3 \cos ^{2} 2 \theta+6 \cos 2 \theta-10 \cos ^{2} \theta+5=0\) \(3 \cos ^{2} 2 \theta+6 \cos 2 \theta-5(1+\cos 2 \theta)+5=0\) \(3 \cos ^{2} 2 \theta+\cos 2 \theta=0\) \(\operatorname{Cos} 2 \theta=0\) OR \(\cos 2 \theta=-1 / 3\) \(\theta \in[-4 \pi, 4 \pi]\)…
