Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\sin ^{2} \theta+3 \cos \theta=2\) \(\begin{array}{lr}\Rightarrow & 1-\cos ^{2} \theta+3 \cos \theta=2 \\ \Rightarrow & \cos ^{2} \theta-3 \cos \theta+1=0\end{array}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \cos \theta=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9-4}}{2}\) (by quadratic formula)…
