Options:
  • A 12πt0cos-1a+c2b
  • B 12πt0cos-1a+2b3c
  • C 12πt0cos-1a+b2c

The correct answer is: 12πt0cos-1a+c2b

a=Asinωt0...(1)

b=Asin2ωt0...(2)

c=Asin3ωt0...(3)

adding equation (1) and (3)

a+c=Asinωt0+sin3ωt0=2Asin2ωt0cosωt0...(4)

sinC+sinD=  2sinC+D2cosCD2

from equation (2) and (4)

a+cb=2cosωt0

ω= 1t0cos-1a+c2b f=12πt0cos-1a+c2b
