SSC CPO - 11 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q148

If 4 Cos θ + 3 Sin θ = x and 4 Sin θ − 3 Cos θ = y, find the value of x2+y2x^2 + y^2

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 25

Given that

If 4 Cos θ + 3 Sin θ = x .......(1

and 4 Sin θ − 3 Cos θ = y.........(2

The sum of squares of both equations 1 and 2

16 (Cos2 θ + Sin2 θ) + 9 (Cos2 θ + Sin2 θ) = x2 + y2

x2 + y2  = 16 + 9 = 25
