Solution

The correct option is D (cos2x=12)

Given 6tan2x2cos2x=cos2x

6sin2xcos2x=cos2x+2cos2x
Since 2sin2x=1cos2x and 2cos2x=1+cos2x
61cos2x1+cos2x=cos2x+(1+cos2x),
Put cos2x=y
61y1+y=2y+1
6(1y)=(2y+1)(y+1)
66y=2y2+2y+y+1
2y2+9y5=0
y=9±81+404
y=9±1214
y=9±114
=24,204
y=12,5

cos2x=12 or cos2x=5(rejected)
cos2x=12
