The values of $x$ for which $\sin x+i \cos 2 x$ and $\cos x-i \sin 2 x$ are conjugate to each other are

The values of $x$ for which $\sin x+i \cos 2 x$ and $\cos x-i \sin 2 x$ are conjugate to each other are
  1. $x=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{6}$
  2. None
  3. $x=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$
  4. $x=\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \pi$

Solution

Conjugate of $\cos x-i \sin 2 x$ is $\cos x+i \sin 2 x$ So, $\sin x+i \cos 2 x=\cos x+i \sin 2 x$ Comparing real and imaginary parts, $\sin x=\cos x$ or $\tan x=1$ and $\cos 2 x=\sin 2 x$ or $\tan 2 x=1$ But for same value of $x$, both $\tan x$ and $\tan 2 x$ can not. Hence, no solution is possible.
