(1)

$\sqrt{3} (2 \cos^{2} θ - 1) + 8 \cos θ + 3 \sqrt{3} = 0$

$2 \sqrt{3} \cos^{2} θ + 8 \cos θ + 2 \sqrt{3} = 0$

$(\sqrt{3} \cos θ + 1) (\cos θ + \sqrt{3}) = 0$

$\cos θ = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$as - \sqrt{3} (reject)$

$∴$ $θ will have 5 values in [- 3 π, 2 π]$

$Ans. = 5 \Rightarrow option (1)$
