For a homogeneous system to have a non-trivial solution, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero.
So,
$D=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \sin\theta & \cos\theta\ 1 & \cos\theta & \sin\theta\ 1 & -\sin\theta & -\cos\theta\end{array}\right|$
Let $\sin\theta=s$ and $\cos\theta=c$.
Then,
$D=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & s & c\ 1 & c & s\ 1 & -s & -c\end{array}\right|$
On simplifying,
$D=2(s-c)(s+c)$
For non-trivial solution,
$D=0$
So,
$2(s-c)(s+c)=0$
Hence,
$s-c=0$ or $s+c=0$
So,
$\sin\theta=\cos\theta$ or $\sin\theta=-\cos\theta$
Case 1:
$\sin\theta=\cos\theta$
$\tan\theta=1$
In $[0,2\pi]$,
$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{5\pi}{4}$
Case 2:
$\sin\theta=-\cos\theta$
$\tan\theta=-1$
In $[0,2\pi]$,
$\theta=\frac{3\pi}{4},\frac{7\pi}{4}$
Total number of values of $\theta$ is $4$.
