Consider an equation sinx + sin y = 2 ...(1)

We know that sinx ≤ 1 and sin y ≤ 1 for all x, y so, sinx + sin y ≤ 2 for all x and y i.e. sinx + sin y = 2 if and only if sin x =1= sin y so, x = 2n π + π /2 and y = 2m π + π /2. In general, one or more of the following extreme value conditions

1) – 1 ≤ sinx ≤ 1 ⇒ |sinx | ≤ 1 and sin2x ≤ 1

2) –1 ≤ cos x ≤ 1 ⇒ |cosx| ≤ 1 and cos2x ≤ 1

3) ≤ (a sinx + b cos x) ≤

⇒ |a sinx + b cos x| ≤

On the basis of above passage, answer the following questions:

(i) Number of roots of the equation cos7x + sin4x = 1 in the interval [0, 2 π ] is-

A
0 π /4 sin2x ≥ 1/2
B
1 π /3 cos2x ≤ 1/4
C
2 sin2x ≤ 1/4
D
4 (ii) The smallest positive number p for which the equation cos (p sin x) = sin (p cos x) has a solution in [0, 2 π ] is – (iii) The value of the k for which the equation sin x + cos (k + x) + cos (k –x) = 2 has real solutions, satisfy- cos2x ≥ 3/4
