Detailed Solution
Since, 16sinθ,cosθ,tanθ are in G.P.∴cos2θ=16sinθ.tanθcos2θ =16sin2θcosθ put sin2θ =1-cos2θ⇒6cos3θ+cos2θ−1=0Note that cosθ=12 satisfies the equation (by trial)∴(2cosθ−1)(3cos2θ+2cosθ+1)=0⇒cosθ=12 (other cosθ values of are imaginary)⇒cosθ=cosπ3⇒θ=2nπ±π3,n∈Z⇒for n=0, θ=±π3 ∴θ=π3,2π-π3,2π+π3,4π-π3 and 4π+π3are the 5 values taken by θ in 0,5π ⇒n=5 for n=1, θ=2π±π3 for n=2, θ=4π±π3
