Q42 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

The sum of all values of x in [0,2π], for which sinx+sin2x+sin3x+sin4x=0, is equal to :

  • A
    8π
  • B
    11π
  • C
    12π
  • Correct answer
    D
    9π

Solution

Given,

sinx+sin2x+sin3x+sin4x=0

⇒(sinx+sin4x)+(sin2x+sin3x)=0

⇒2sin5x2cos3x2+2sin5x2cosx2=0

⇒2sin5x2cos3x2+cosx2=0

⇒2sin5x22cosxcosx2=0

2sin5x2=0⇒5x2=0,π,2π,3π,4π,5π

⇒x=0,2π5,4π5,6π5,8π5,2π

and cosx2=0⇒x2=π2⇒x=π

and cosx=0⇒x=π2,3π2

So sum =6π+π+2π=9π

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