GATECS2014Q16 (A) I only (B) II only (C) Both I and II (D) Neither I nor II

Answer: (C)

Explanation: In the given question,\theta ranges from \pi /6 to \pi /3. When \theta=\pi /6, the value of the function is 0, since Rows 1 and 2 are the same. When \theta=\pi /3, the value of the function is 0, since Rows 1 and 3 are the same. Therefore, f(\pi /6) = f(\pi /3) =0 The given function is continuous and differentiable in the given range since it is a trigonometric function. Then According to the Mean Value Theorem, There exists a value c of such that f'(c)=0. So the first statement is true. Also there may also exist a value c, such that f'(c)\neq 0. This is because the function is not a constant function, i.e. all values in the range are not equal to c. So the second statement is also true. Therefore the correct option is C.
