Let f(x) = sin( π\pi cos x) and g(x) = cos(2 π\pi 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.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For, X = {x : f(x) = 0}, x > 0

Now, f(x) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow sin( π\pi cos x) = 0, x > 0

⇒\Rightarrow π\pi cos x = n π\pi , n ∈\in Integer.

⇒\Rightarrow cos x = n

⇒\Rightarrow cos x = −- 1, 0, 1

{ ∵\because cos x ∈\in [ −- 1, 1]}

When cos x = ± 1 ⇒\Rightarrow x = n π\pi

When cos x = 0 ⇒\Rightarrow x = (2n + 1) π2{{\pi \over 2}}

Hence, (i) →\to (P), (Q)

For, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0}, x > 0

Now, f'(x) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow −- π\pi sin x cos( π\pi cos x) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow either sin x = 0 ⇒\Rightarrow x = n π\pi , n is an integer,

or cos( π\pi cos x) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow π\pi cos x = (2n + 1) π2{{\pi \over 2}} , n is an integer

⇒\Rightarrow cos x = 2n+12{{{2n + 1} \over 2}}

⇒\Rightarrow cos⁡x=±12\cos x = \pm {1 \over 2} { ∵\because cos x ∈\in [ −- 1, 1]}

⇒\Rightarrow x = 2nπ±π32n\pi \pm {\pi \over 3} or 2nπ±2π32n\pi \pm {{2\pi } \over 3} , n is an integer.

So, (ii) →\to (Q), (T)

Hence, option (a) is correct.
