Correct Answer: $\tan \theta$
Solution : Given: $\frac{\sin \theta - 2 \sin ^3 \theta}{2 \cos ^3 \theta - \cos \theta}$ $=\frac{\sin \theta(1 -2 \sin ^2\theta)}{\cos \theta( 2 \cos ^2\theta - 1)}$ $=\frac{\sin \theta(\sin ^2\theta + \cos^2\theta - 2 \sin ^2\theta)}{\cos \theta( 2\cos ^2\theta - \sin ^2\theta - \cos^2\theta)}$ [as $\sin ^2\theta +\cos^2\theta = 1$] $=\frac{\sin\theta(\cos^{2}\theta - \sin^{2}\theta)}{\cos\theta(\cos^{2}\theta - \sin^{2}\theta)}$ $=\tan \theta$ Hence, the correct answer is $\tan \theta$.
