  1. A2020
  2. B1212
  3. C99
  4. D1616

Correct answer

B. 1212

Step-by-step solution

Given x∈(0,π2)x \in \left(0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)

log⁡10sin⁡x+log⁡10cos⁡x=−1\log_{10}\sin x + \log_{10}\cos x = - 1

⇒log⁡10sin⁡x.cos⁡x=−1⇒ \log_{10}\sin x . \cos x = - 1

⇒sin⁡x.cos⁡x=110⇒ \sin x . \cos x = \dfrac{1}{10} ...(1). . . ( 1 )

log⁡10(sin⁡x+cos⁡x)=12(log⁡10n−1)\log_{10}\left(\sin x + \cos x\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\log_{10}n - 1\right)

⇒sin⁡x+cos⁡x=10(log⁡10n−12)=10(log⁡10n−log⁡1010)=n10⇒ \sin x + \cos x = {10}^{\left(\log_{10}\sqrt{n} - \dfrac{1}{2}\right)} = {10}^{\left(\log_{10}\sqrt{n} - \log_{10}\sqrt{10}\right)} = \sqrt{\dfrac{n}{10}}

By squaring we get,

sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x+2sin⁡xcos⁡x=n10\sin^{2}x + \cos^{2}x + 2\sin x \cos x = \dfrac{n}{10}

1+2sin⁡x.cos⁡x=n101 + 2\sin x . \cos x = \dfrac{n}{10}

⇒1+15=n10⇒n=12⇒ 1 + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{n}{10} ⇒ n = 12
