Q.

Let A={x(0,π){π2} : log(2/π)|sinx|+log(2/π)|cosx|=2} and B={x0 : x(x4)3|x2|+6=0}.

Then n(AB) is equal to :          [2025]

1 4  
2 2  
3 8  
4 6  

Ans.

(3)

For A : log(2/π)|sinx|+log(2/π)|cosx|=2

 log(2/π)(|sin x·cos x|)=2

 |sin x·cos x|=(2π)2

 |2sin x·cos x|=8π2  |sin 2x|=8π2

The region is given by

Since, line y=8π2 cuts the graph of y=|sin 2x| four times. Thus, there are four solutions for A.

For B : x(x4)3|x2|+6=0

When x<4, x(x4)+3(x2)+6=0

 x4x+3x6+6=0  xx=0

 x(x1)=0  x=0 or 1

 x=0 or 1

When x>4, x(x4)3(x2)+6=0

 x4x3x+6+6=0  x7x+12=0

 (x3)(x4)=0  x=3 or 4

 x=9 or 16

Thus, there are four solutions for B as well.

Now, n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)=4+4=8
