Let f x = sin ⁡ π cos ⁡ x and g x = cos ⁡ 2 π sin ⁡ x be two functions…

Let fx=sinπcosx and gx=cos2πsinx be two functions defined for x>0. Define the following sets whose elements are written in the increasing order:
X=x:fx=0, Y=x:f'x=0
Z=x:gx=0, W=x:g'x=0
List- I contains the sets X, Y, Z and W. List- II contains some information regarding these sets.
 
  List-  I   List-  II
I X P π2,3π2, 4π, 7π
II Y Q an arithmetic progression
III Z R NOT an arithmetic progression
IV W S π6,7π6,13π6
    T π3,2π3, π
    U π6,3π4

Which of the following is the only correct combination?
  1. II-R, S
  2. I-P, R
  3. II-Q, T
  4. I-Q, U

Solution

I fx=sinπcosx  and X=x:fx=0
fx=0
sinπcosx=0
πcosx=mπ, mI
cosx=m
cosx=0, 1, -1
x=nπ2
X=nπ2, nIX=±π2, ±π,±3π2,± 2π
I-P, Q
II gx=cos2πsinx and Z=x:gx=0
cos2πsinx=0
2πsinx=2m+1π2,mI
sinx=2n+14
sinx=-14,14,-34,34
Z=nπ±sin-114, nπ±sin-134,nI
II-Q, T
III fx=sinπcosx and Y=x:f'x=0
f'x=cosπcosx.-πsinx=0
Now, cosπcosx=0πcosx=2m+1π2,mI
cosx=2m+12
cosx=-12,12x=nπ±π3,nI
or sinx=0x=nπ
Hence, Y=nπ, nπ±π3,nI
Y=π3,2π3, π,4π3,5π3, 2π

IV gx=cos2πsinx and W=x:g'x=0
g'x=-sin2πsinx2πcosx=0
Now, cosx=0x=2m+1π2,mI
or sin2πsinx=0
2πsinx=mπ,mI
sinx=m2
sinx=-1, -12, 0,12, 1
x=nπ2, nπ±π6,nI
W=nπ2, nπ±π6
W=π6,π2,5π6,π, 7π6,3π2.
