      Question

      If P . cos θ + Q . sin θ = 8 and P . sin θ - Q . cos

      θ = 5, what is the value of (P² + Q²)?
      A 89 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2√10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Given, P . cos θ + Q . sin θ = 8 ⇒ P² . cos² θ + Q² . sin² θ + 2PQ . sin θ . cos θ = 64   … (i) Also given, P . sin θ - Q . cos θ = 5 ⇒ P² . sin² θ + Q² . cos² θ - 2PQ . sin θ . cos θ = 25   … (ii) Adding equations (i) and (ii) P² + Q² = 89
