MCQ
The equation $\sin x + \cos x = 2$has
  • A
    One solution
  • B
    Two solutions
  • C
    Infinite number of solutions
  • No solutions

Answer

Correct option: D.
No solutions
d
(d) No solution as $|\sin x| \le 1,\,|\cos x| \le 1$ and both of them do not attain their maximum value for the same angle.

Aliter : Since the maximum value of $(\sin x + \cos x) =  \sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} = \sqrt 2 $. 

Hence there is no satisfying $\sin x + \cos x = 2$.
