Q4 / 83 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Trigonometric Equations

The number of solutions to the equation 2esin⁡x-3-e2sin⁡x=esin⁡x-e2sin⁡x-1 in 0,2π is

  • A
    0
  • Correct answer
    B
    2
  • C
    4
  • D
    3

Solution

Putting esin⁡x=t, we get, 
2t-3-t2=t-t2-1
t2-2t+3=t2-t+1
t2-2t+3>0, ∀t∈R and t2-t+1>0, ∀t∈R as their discriminant<0
⇒t2-2t+3=t2-t+1⇒t=2
⇒esin⁡x=2⇒sin⁡x=ln⁡2∈0,1
Figure
Hence, from the graph, we get, in 0,2π there are two solutions

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
