Question : If $\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta=2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$, where $\theta$ is an acute angle, then the value of $\tan\theta$ is:
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $2$
Option 3: $\sqrt2$
Option 4: $0$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: $\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta=2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$ and $\theta$ is an acute angle. We know the algebraic identity, $(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab$. $\sin^4\theta+\cos^4\theta-2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta=0$ Or, $(\sin^2\theta-\cos^2\theta)^2=0$ Or, $\sin^2\theta-\cos^2\theta=0$ Or, $\sin^2\theta=\cos^2\theta$ Or, $\tan^2\theta=1$ $\therefore \tan \theta=\pm 1$ Since, $\theta$ is an acute angle, then the value of $\tan\theta$ is $1$. Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
