QJEEAdv19Mae97e: JEE Advanced 2019 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEAdv19Mae97e Solution: Let f(x) = sin( cos x) and g(x) = cos(2 sin x) be two functions …
Let f(x) = sin( cos x) and g(x) = cos(2 sin x) be two functions defined for x > 0. Define the following sets whose elements are written in the increasing order :
X = {x : f(x) = 0}, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0}
Z = {x : g(x) = 0}, W = {x : g'(x) = 0}
List - I contains the sets X, Y, Z and W. List - II contains some information regarding these sets.

Which of the following combinations is correct?
X = {x : f(x) = 0}, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0}
Z = {x : g(x) = 0}, W = {x : g'(x) = 0}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution
For, X = {x : f(x) = 0}, x > 0
Now, f(x) = 0
sin( cos x) = 0, x > 0
cos x = n , n Integer.
cos x = n
cos x = 1, 0, 1
{ cos x [ 1, 1]}
When cos x = ± 1 x = n
When cos x = 0 x = (2n + 1)
Hence, (i) (P), (Q)
For, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0}, x > 0
Now, f'(x) = 0
sin x cos( cos x) = 0
either sin x = 0 x = n , n is an integer,
or cos( cos x) = 0
cos x = (2n + 1) , n is an integer
cos x =
{ cos x [ 1, 1]}
x = or , n is an integer.
So, (ii) (Q), (T)
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Now, f(x) = 0
sin( cos x) = 0, x > 0
cos x = n , n Integer.
cos x = n
cos x = 1, 0, 1
{ cos x [ 1, 1]}
When cos x = ± 1 x = n
When cos x = 0 x = (2n + 1)
Hence, (i) (P), (Q)
For, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0}, x > 0
Now, f'(x) = 0
sin x cos( cos x) = 0
either sin x = 0 x = n , n is an integer,
or cos( cos x) = 0
cos x = (2n + 1) , n is an integer
cos x =
{ cos x [ 1, 1]}
x = or , n is an integer.
So, (ii) (Q), (T)
Hence, option (a) is correct.
