MCQ
If $\sin(\pi\cos\text{x})=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x}),$ then $\sin2\text{x}=$
  • A
    $\pm\frac34$
  • B
    $\pm\frac43$
  • C
    $\pm\frac13$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. $\pm\frac13$

Solution:

$\sin(\pi\cos\text{x})=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x})$

As we know that $\sin\text{x}=-\cos\Big(\frac\pi2+\text{x}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow-\cos\Big(\frac\pi2+\pi\cos\text{x}\Big)=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{-\pi}{2}-\pi\cos\text{x}=\pi\sin\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\pi\sin\text{x}-\pi\cos\text{x}=\frac12$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\frac12$

Squaring both sides we get,

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}+2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\frac14$

$\Rightarrow1+\sin2\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\sin2\text{x}=\frac13$

$\therefore\sin2\text{x}=\pm\frac13$
