Assertion (A): If sin2 A + sin A = 1 then cos4 A + cos2 A = 1.

Statement 2: 1 - sin2 A = cos2 A

  1. (A) is true, (R) is false.

  2. (A) is false, (R) is true.

  3. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct reason for (A).

  4. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the incorrect reason for (A).

Given,

⇒ sin2 A + sin A = 1

⇒ sin A = 1 - sin2 A

⇒ sin A = cos2 A

Squaring both the sides, we get :

⇒ (sin A)2 = (cos2 A)2

⇒ sin2 A = cos4 A ………………….(1)

Solving L.H.S. of cos4 A + cos2 A = 1, we get :

⇒ cos4 A + cos2 A

⇒ sin2 A + cos2 A [From equation (1)]

⇒ 1.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

As we know that, sin2 A + cos2 A = 1

⇒ 1 - sin2 A = cos2 A

∴ Reason (R) is true.

∴ Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct reason for (A).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
