[JEE Main 2016] a value of theta for which 2 3i sin theta 1 2i sin theta
A value of $\theta$ for which $\dfrac{2+3i\sin\theta}{1-2i\sin\theta}$ is purely imaginary is
(a) $\sin^{-1}\frac{\sqrt3}4$
(b) $\sin^{-1}\frac1{\sqrt3}$
(c) $\frac\pi3$
(d) $\frac\pi6$
1 Answer
Correct answer: (b) $\sin^{-1}\frac1{\sqrt3}$
Rationalising, the real part is $\frac{2-6\sin^2\theta}{1+4\sin^2\theta}$; setting it to $0$ gives $\sin^2\theta=\frac13$, i.e. $\theta=\sin^{-1}\frac1{\sqrt3}$.
