Q. The sum of all values of $\theta\in[0,2\pi]$ satisfying $2\sin^2\theta=\cos2\theta$ and $2\cos^2\theta=3\sin\theta$ is

A) $4\pi$
B) $\frac{5\pi}6$
C) $\pi$
D) $\frac\pi2$
Explanation

[Solution by Dr. Abubacker] The second equation gives $2s^2+3s-2=0$, so $\sin\theta=\frac12$ (since $\sin\theta=-2$ is impossible). The first equation then reads $2\cdot\frac14=1-2\cdot\frac14$, which holds. So $\theta=\frac\pi6,\frac{5\pi}6$ and the sum is $\pi$. Answer (3).
