The number of solutions of cos x = sin x , such that - 4 π ≤ x ≤ 4 π is

The number of solutions of cosx=sinx, such that -4πx4π is 
  1. 4
  2. 6
  3. 8
  4. 12

Solution

The number of solutions will be the number of points of intersection of the graphs y=cosx & y=sinx

Plotting the two curves on the same axis, we get, 

the number of intersection as 8
