Solution

The correct option is B 12πt0cos1(a+c2b)
Let,
a=Asin(wt0)
b=Acos(2wt0)
c=Acos(3wt0)
Now take,
a+c=Asin(wt0)+Asin(3wt0)
a+c=2Asin(2wt0).cos(wt0)
a+c=2b.cos(wt0)
cos(wt0)=(a+c)/2b
Taking inverse on both sides,
wt0=cosinv[(a+c)/2b]
2πft0=cosinv[(a+c)/2b]
f=cosinv[(a+c)/2b]/2πt0
Therefore, frequency of oscillation is 1/2πt0cosinv[(a+c)/2b].
Hence,
option (B) is correct answer.
