Correct Answer :

Option B

24

Solution :

The correct answer is 24.

We are given the trigonometric equation:
4 sin 2 θ = 3 ( 1 + cos θ )
where 0°<θ<90°.

First, we can use the fundamental trigonometric identity sin2θ=1-cos2θ to rewrite the equation entirely in terms of cosθ:
4 ( 1 - cos 2 θ ) = 3 ( 1 + cos θ )

We know that 1-cos2θ can be factored as a difference of squares: (1-cosθ)(1+cosθ). Substituting this back into the equation:
4 ( 1 - cos θ ) ( 1 + cos θ ) = 3 ( 1 + cos θ )

Since 0°<θ<90°, we have 0<cosθ<1, which means 1+cosθ0. Thus, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1+cosθ:
4 ( 1 - cos θ ) = 3

Now, we solve for cosθ:
1 - cos θ = 3 4
cos θ = 1 - 3 4 = 1 4

Since cosθ=14, we can determine the other trigonometric ratios for the acute angle θ:
sec θ = 1 cos θ = 4
sin θ = 1 - cos 2 θ = 1 - ( 1 4 ) 2 = 1 - 1 16 = 15 16 = 15 4
tan θ = sin θ cos θ = 15 / 4 1 / 4 = 15

Now, we substitute these values into the expression we wish to evaluate:
E = 15 tan θ + 4 15 sin θ + 2 sec θ
E = 15 ( 15 ) + 4 15 ( 15 4 ) + 2 ( 4 )

Simplifying each term step-by-step:
1. The first term: 15×15=15
2. The second term: 415×154=1
3. The third term: 2×4=8

Adding them together:
E = 15 + 1 + 8 = 24

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 24.
