3. (ii)

Step 1: Express sin⁡θ−3cos⁡θ\sin \theta - \sqrt{3} \cos \theta in the form Rsin⁡(θ−λ)R \sin(\theta - \lambda).
We compare sin⁡θ−3cos⁡θ\sin \theta - \sqrt{3} \cos \theta with the expansion of Rsin⁡(θ−λ)R \sin(\theta - \lambda):

Rsin⁡(θ−λ)=R(sin⁡θcos⁡λ−cos⁡θsin⁡λ)=(Rcos⁡λ)sin⁡θ−(Rsin⁡λ)cos⁡θR \sin(\theta - \lambda) = R(\sin \theta \cos \lambda - \cos \theta \sin \lambda) = (R \cos \lambda) \sin \theta - (R \sin \lambda) \cos \theta

Equating the coefficients of sin⁡θ\sin \theta and cos⁡θ\cos \theta:
