Correct answer: C

Step-by-step Solution:

We are asked to find the number of solutions for the pair of equations in the interval [0,2au][0, 2 au][0,2au].

The given equations are:

  1. 2sin⁡2θ−cos⁡2θ=02{\sin ^2}\theta - \cos 2\theta = 02sin2θ−cos2θ=0
  2. 2cos⁡2θ−3sin⁡θ=02{\cos ^2}\theta - 3\sin \theta = 02cos2θ−3sinθ=0

Step 1: Simplify the first equation.

We use the double-angle identity for cosine: cos⁡2θ=1−2sin⁡2θ\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}\thetacos2θ=1−2sin2θ. Substituting this into the first equation: 2sin⁡2θ−(1−2sin⁡2θ)=02{\sin ^2}\theta - (1 - 2{\sin ^2}\theta) = 02sin2θ−(1−2sin2θ)=0 2sin⁡2θ−1+2sin⁡2θ=02{\sin ^2}\theta - 1 + 2{\sin ^2}\theta = 02sin2θ−1+2sin2θ=0 4sin⁡2θ−1=04{\sin ^2}\theta - 1 = 04sin2θ−1=0 4sin⁡2θ=14{\sin ^2}\theta = 14sin2θ=1 sin⁡2θ=14{\sin ^2}\theta = \frac{1}{4}sin2θ=41​ (Equation 3)

This implies sin⁡θ=±12\sin \theta = \pm \frac{1}{2}sinθ=±21​.

Step 2: Simplify the second equation.

We use the Pythagorean identity: cos⁡2θ=1−sin⁡2θ{\cos ^2}\theta = 1 - {\sin ^2}\thetacos2θ=1−sin2θ. Substituting this into the second equation: 2(1−sin⁡2θ)−3sin⁡θ=02(1 - {\sin ^2}\theta) - 3\sin \theta = 02(1−sin2θ)−3sinθ=0 2−2sin⁡2θ−3sin⁡θ=02 - 2{\sin ^2}\theta - 3\sin \theta = 02−2sin2θ−3sinθ=0 2sin⁡2θ+3sin⁡θ−2=02{\sin ^2}\theta + 3\sin \theta - 2 = 02sin2θ+3sinθ−2=0 (Equation 4)

Step 3: Solve the system of equations.

We need to find the values of θ\thetaθ that satisfy both simplified equations simultaneously. We can substitute the result from Equation 3, sin⁡2θ=14{\sin ^2}\theta = \frac{1}{4}sin2θ=41​, into Equation 4.

2(14)+3sin⁡θ−2=02\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + 3\sin \theta - 2 = 02(41​)+3sinθ−2=0 12+3sin⁡θ−2=0\frac{1}{2} + 3\sin \theta - 2 = 021​+3sinθ−2=0 3sin⁡θ−32=03\sin \theta - \frac{3}{2} = 03sinθ−23​=0 3sin⁡θ=323\sin \theta = \frac{3}{2}3sinθ=23​ sin⁡θ=12\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}sinθ=21​

Step 4: Find the solutions in the given interval.

We need to find the number of values of θ\thetaθ in the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi][0,2π] that satisfy sin⁡θ=12\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}sinθ=21​.

The sine function is positive in the first and second quadrants.

  • In the first quadrant, the solution is θ=π6\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}θ=6π​.
  • In the second quadrant, the solution is θ=π−π6=5π6\theta = \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}θ=π−6π​=65π​.

Both π6\frac{\pi}{6}6π​ and 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}65π​ lie within the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi][0,2π].

Let's verify if these solutions are consistent with our initial simplification. If sin⁡θ=12\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}sinθ=21​, then sin⁡2θ=(12)2=14{\sin ^2}\theta = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}sin2θ=(21​)2=41​, which is consistent with Equation 3.

Therefore, the common solutions are the angles θ\thetaθ for which sin⁡θ=1/2\sin\theta = 1/2sinθ=1/2. There are two such solutions in the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi][0,2π].

Conclusion:

The number of solutions for the given pair of equations in the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi][0,2π] is 2. This corresponds to option C.
