Solution

Given 33 sinP+4cosQ=6\sin \,P + 4\cos Q = 6 ...(i)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( i \right) 4sinQ+3cosP=1...(ii)4\sin Q + 3\cos P = 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( {ii} \right) Squaring and adding (i)(i) & (ii)(ii) we get 9sin2P+16cos2Q+24sinPcosQ9\,{\sin ^2}P + 16{\cos ^2}Q + 24\sin P\cos Q +16sin2Q+9cos2P+24sinQcosP\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + 16\,{\sin ^2}Q + 9{\cos ^2}P + 24\sin Q\cos P \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, =36+1=37 = 36 + 1 = 37 9(sin2p+cos2P)+16(sin2Q+cos2q) \Rightarrow 9\left( {{{\sin }^2}p + {{\cos }^2}P} \right) + 16\left( {{{\sin }^2}Q + {{\cos }^2}q} \right) +24(sinPcosQ+cosPsinQ)=37\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + 24\left( {\sin P\cos Q + \cos P\sin Q} \right) = 37 9+16+24sin(P+Q)=37 \Rightarrow 9 + 16 + 24\sin \left( {P + Q} \right) = 37 [ As sin2θ+cos2θ=1{\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 and sinAcosB+cosAsinB\sin A\cos B + \cos A\sin B =sin(A+B) = \sin \left( {A + B} \right) ] sin(P+Q)=12 \Rightarrow \sin \left( {P + Q} \right) = {1 \over 2} P+Q=π6 \Rightarrow P + Q = {\pi \over 6} or 5π6{{5\pi } \over 6} R=5π6 \Rightarrow R = {{5\pi } \over 6} or π6{\pi \over 6} (as P+Q+R=πP + Q + R = \pi ) If R=5π6R = {{5\pi } \over 6} then 0<P,Q<π60 < P,Q < {\pi \over 6} cosQ<1 \Rightarrow \cos Q < 1 and sinP<12\sin P < {1 \over 2} 3sinP+4cosQ<112 \Rightarrow 3\sin P + 4\cos Q < {{11} \over 2} which is not true. So R=π6R = {\pi \over 6}
