Q.

Let A={x∈(0,π)–{π2} : log(2/π)|sinx|+log(2/π)|cosx|=2} and B={x≥0 : x(x–4)–3|x–2|+6=0}.

Then n(A∪B) 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(x–4)–3|x–2|+6=0

When x<4, x(x–4)+3(x–2)+6=0

⇒ x–4x+3x–6+6=0 ⇒ x–x=0

⇒ x(x–1)=0 ⇒ x=0 or 1

⇒ x=0 or 1

When x>4, x(x–4)–3(x–2)+6=0

⇒ x–4x–3x+6+6=0 ⇒ x–7x+12=0

⇒ (x–3)(x–4)=0 ⇒ x=3 or 4

⇒ x=9 or 16

Thus, there are four solutions for B as well.

Now, n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)=4+4=8
