If for x ∈ 0 , π 2 , log 10 sin x + log 10 cos x = - 1 and log 10 sin x + cos x = 1 2 log 10 n -…

If for x0,π2,log10sinx+log10cosx=-1 and log10sinx+cosx=12log10n-1,n>0, then the value of n is equal to : 

  1. 20
  2. 12
  3. 9
  4. 16

Solution

Given x0,π2

log10sinx+log10cosx=-1

log10sinx.cosx=-1

sinx.cosx=110   ...(1)

log10sinx+cosx=12log10n-1

sinx+cosx=10log10n-12=10log10n-log1010=n10

By squaring we get, 

sin2x+cos2x+2sinxcosx=n10

1+2sinx.cosx=n10

1+15=n10n=12
