Question

For 0 < φ < π/2, if x = cos2nφ, y =sin2nφ, z = cos2n φ sin2, then

Options

A.xyz = xz + y
B.xyz = xy + z
C.xyz = x + y + z
D.xyz = yz + x

Solution

x = cos2nφ = 1 + cos2 φ + cos4 φ + cos6 φ + .....
It is clearly a GP with common ration of cos2 φ which is ≤ 1
Hence, x =
Similarly,   y =
and       z =
Now,       x + y =
       
Again,     = 1 - sin2 φ cos2 φ = 1 -
⇒    
⇒     xy = xyz - z
⇒     xy + z = xyz       .....(i)
Therefore, (b) is the answer from Eq. (i) (putting the value of xy)
⇒     xyz = x + y + z
Therefore, (c) is also the answer.
