Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 60°

Given:

2 cos2 θ + (4 + √3)sin θ - 2(1 + √3) = 0

Calculations:

2cos²θ + (4+√3) sinθ - 2(1+√3) = 0

⇒ 2(1-sin²θ) + 4sinθ + √3sinθ - 2 - 2√3 = 0   [(1-sin²θ) = cos²θ]

⇒ 2 - 2sin²θ  + 4sinθ  + √3sinθ  -  2 - 2√3 = 0

⇒ 2sin²θ - 4sinθ + √3sinθ + 2√3 = 0

⇒ 2sin²θ - (4+√3)sinθ + 2√3 = 0

⇒ 2sin²θ - 4sinθ - √3sinθ + 2√3 = 0

⇒ 2sinθ(sinθ -2°) - √3(sinθ -2) = 0

⇒ 2sinθ = √3 or sinθ = 2 (not possible)

⇒ Sinθ = √3/2, θ = 60°

∴ The correct choice is option 4.
