If Cos 3θ = Sin (θ - 34°), then the value of θ as an acute angle is:

A56°

B17°

C31°

D34°

Answer:

C. 31°

Read Explanation:

Solution:

Given 

Cos 3θ = Sin (θ - 34°)

Formula used 

sin (90° - θ) = cos θ

Calculation 

⇒  sin (90 -3θ) = sin {(θ - 34)}

⇒ 90°  - 3θ = θ - 34° 

⇒ θ = 31° 

∴ θ = 31°
