Correct Answer – Six solutions
We have
`cot^(2) (sin x+3)=1=”cot”^(2) pi/4`
`rArr sin x+3=n pi pm pi/4`
Now, `2 le sin x +3 le 4`
`:. Sin x+3=pi-pi/4`
or `sin x+3=pi+pi/4`
`:. Sin x=(3pi)/4-3` …(1)
or `sin x=(5pi)/4-3` …(2)
For (1), we have two values of x in interval `(pi, 2pi)`.
For (2), we have two values of x in each of the intervals `(0, pi), (2pi, 3pi)`.
So, there are total six solutions.
