Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Since, the given system has a non trivial solution,

 So, Δ=0\text { So, } \Delta=0

⇒Δ=∣1amp;1amp;3−1amp;tan⁡θamp;71amp;1amp;tan⁡θ∣=0\Rightarrow \Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & \sqrt{3} \\-1 & \tan \theta & \sqrt{7} \\1 & 1 & \tan \theta\end{array}\right|=0

amp;⇒1(tan⁡2θ−7)−1(−tan⁡θ−7)+3(−1−tan⁡θ)=0amp;⇒tan⁡2θ−7+tan⁡θ+7−3−3tan⁡θ=0amp;⇒tan⁡θ(tan⁡θ−3)+1(tan⁡θ−3)=0amp;⇒tan⁡θ=3 or tan⁡θ=−1amp;∴θ={π3,−2π3,−π4,3π4}amp; So, 120π∑θ=120π{4π−8π−3π+9π12}amp;=120π[2π12]=20\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow 1\left(\tan ^2 \theta-\sqrt{7}\right)-1(-\tan \theta-\sqrt{7})+\sqrt{3}(-1-\tan \theta)=0 \\\\& \Rightarrow \tan ^2 \theta-\sqrt{7}+\tan \theta+\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3} \tan \theta=0 \\\\& \Rightarrow \tan \theta(\tan \theta-\sqrt{3})+1(\tan \theta-\sqrt{3})=0 \\\\& \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\sqrt{3} \text { or } \tan \theta=-1 \\\\& \therefore \theta=\left\{\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{-2 \pi}{3}, \frac{-\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right\} \\\\& \text { So, } \frac{120}{\pi} \sum \theta=\frac{120}{\pi}\left\{\frac{4 \pi-8 \pi-3 \pi+9 \pi}{12}\right\} \\\\& =\frac{120}{\pi}\left[\frac{2 \pi}{12}\right]=20\end{aligned}
