Question 16

Let the function

where and f(θ) denote the derivative of f with respect to θ. Which of the following is/are TRUE?

    (I) There exists such that such that f(θ)=0.
    (II) There exists such that such that f(θ)≠0.

A
I only
B
II only
C
Both I and II
D
Neither I nor II
Question 16 Explanation: 
Rolle’s theorem:
Rolle’s theorem states that for any continuous, differentiable function that has two equal values at two distinct points, the function must have a point on the function where the first derivative is zero. The technical way to state this is: if f is continuous and differentiable on a closed interval [a,b] and if f(a) = f(b), then f has a minimum of one value c in the open interval [a, b] so that f'(c) = 0.
We can observe that, sin, cos are continuous, but, Tan is not continuous at π/2. As the mentioned interval does not contain π/2, we can conclude that it is continuous.
As per Rolls theorem both statement 1 and statement 2 are true.
