General solution of the equation  1+cos3θ=2cos2θ is

a
θ=nπ±π6,x=2nπ
b
θ=2nπ±π6,x=nπ
c
θ=nπ±π3,x=nπ2
d
θ=nπ±π4,x=nπ

detailed solution

Correct option is A

1+cos3θ=2cos2θ⇒1+4cos3θ−3cosθ=2(2cos2θ−1)⇒4cos3θ−4cos2θ−3cosθ+3=0⇒(cosθ−1)(4cos2θ−3)=0⇒cosθ=1    or   cos2θ=34=322=cos2π6⇒θ=2nπ   or      θ=nπ±π6,n∈z
