The number of all the possible integral values of such that is
Options
- A5
- B4
- C3
- Dinfinity
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
Given, \sin Squaring both sides \left(\sin \frac{\pi}{2 n}+\cos \frac{\pi}{2 n}\rright)^2=\frac{n}{4} \begin{gathered} \sin ^2 \frac{\pi}{2 n}+\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{2 n}+2 \sin \frac{\pi}{2 n} \cos \frac{\pi}{2 n}=\frac{n}{4}\\ \Rightarrow 1+\sin \frac{\pi}{n}=\frac{n}{4} \Rightarrow \sin \frac{\pi}{n}=\frac{n}{4}-1 \Rightarrow \sin \frac{\pi}{n}=\frac{n-4}{4} \end{gathered}\quad \sin \frac{\pi}{n}>0, n>2\quad \frac{n-4}{4}>0 \Rightarrow n>4\sin \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2 n}\right) We get, \frac{\sqrt{n}}{2 \sqrt{2}} From Eqs. (ii) and (iii) 4 < n < 8 So, Hence, number of integral value of is 3 .
