The solution set of the equation $\cos ^2 2 x+\sin ^2 3 x=1$ is

  • A
    $\left\{x / x=n \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}, n \in z\right\}$
  • B
    $\left\{x / x=2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}, n \in z\right\}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\left\{x / x=\frac{n \pi}{5}, n \in z\right\}$
  • D
    $\left\{x / x=n \pi+(-1)^n \frac{\pi}{6}, n \in z\right\}$

Solution

$\cos ^2 2 x+\sin ^2 3 x=1$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \sin ^2 3 x=1-\cos ^2 2 x=\sin ^2 2 x \\ & \Rightarrow \sin ^2 3 x-\sin ^2 2 x=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \sin (3 x+2 x) \cdot \sin (3 x-2 x)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \sin 5 x \cdot \sin x=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \sin 5 x=0 \Rightarrow 5 x=n \pi \Rightarrow x=\frac{n \pi}{5} \quad ...\mathrm{(i)} \\ & \Rightarrow \sin x=0 \Rightarrow x=n \pi \quad ...\mathrm{(ii)} \end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii) $x=\frac{n \pi}{5}, n \in Z$.

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