Let the function

f(θ)=∣sin⁡θcos⁡θtan⁡θsin⁡(π6)cos⁡(π6)tan⁡(π6)sin⁡(π3)cos⁡(π3)tan⁡(π3)∣f(\theta) = \begin{vmatrix} \sin\theta & \cos\theta & \tan\theta \\ \sin(\frac{\pi}{6}) & \cos(\frac{\pi}{6}) & \tan(\frac{\pi}{6}) \\ \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) & \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) & \tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) \end{vmatrix}

where θ∈[π6,π3]\theta \in \left[ \frac{\pi}{6},\frac{\pi}{3} \right] and  f′(θ)f'(\theta) denote the derivative of ff with respect to θ\theta. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

I. There exists θ∈(π6,π3)\theta \in (\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{\pi}{3}) such that f′(θ)=0f'(\theta) = 0

II.  There exists θ∈(π6,π3)\theta \in (\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{\pi}{3}) such that f′(θ)≠0f'(\theta)\neq 0

  1. A.
