Let \(f(\theta)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \cos \theta & -1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & -\cos \theta \\ -1 & \sin \theta & 1\end{array}\right|\). Suppose \(A\) and \(B\) are respectively maximum and minimum values of \(f(\theta)\). Then \((A, B)\) is equal to

  1. A \((2,1)\)
  2. B \((2,0)\)
  3. C \((\sqrt{2}, 1)\)
  4. D \(\left(2, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((2,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & f(\theta)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \cos \theta & -1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & -\cos \theta \\ -1 & \sin \theta & 1\end{array}\right| \text { (after expansion) } \\ & f(\theta)=1+\sin 2 \theta \\ & A=2, B=0 \quad(A, B)=(2,0)\end{aligned}\)
