The total number of solutions of `cos x= sqrt(1- sin 2x)` in `[0, 2pi]` is equal toA. 2B. 3C. 5D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`cos x=sqrt(1- sin 2x)=|sin x-cos x|`
(a) `sin x lt cos x`
`rArr x in [0, pi/4) uu ((5pi)/4, 2pi]` ...(i)
Then the given equation is
`cos x = cos x - sin x`
or `sin x=0`
`rArr x=2pi` [ from Eq. (i)]
(b) `sin x ge cos x`
`rArr x in (pi/4, (5pi)/4)`
`rArr cos x=sin x-cos x`
or `tan x=2`
`rArr x=tan^(1-) 2` ...(ii)
Hence, there are two solutions.
