D9

Step-by-step explanation

Given sin θ tan θ+tan θ=sin 2θ; θ±π2

sin2 θcos θ+sin θcos θ=2 sin θ cos θ

sin θ=0 or sin θcos θ+1cos θ=2 cos θ

θ=0, π, -π or sin θ+1=21-sin2 θ

θ=0, π, -π or 2 sin2 θ +sin θ-1=0

θ=0, π, -π or sin θ=12, sin θ=-1

θ=0, π, -π or θ=π6, 5π6 or θ=-π2 (rejected)

Hence, θ=0, π, -π, π6, 5π6

nS=5

Now, T=Σcos 2θ

=cos 0+cos 2π+cos-2π+cosπ3+cos5π3

=1+1+1+12+12=4

So, T+nS=9
