Correct option (B) 2
Explanation:
only possible when sin 3x = 1 & sin 7x = 1
sin 3x = 1
sin 3x = sin (4n + 1) π/2 , n ∈ I
3x = (4n + 1) π/2 ⇒ x = (4n + 1) π/6
sin 7x = sin(4m + 1) π/2, m ∈ I
x = (4m + 1) π/14
for common solution
(4n + 1) π/6 = (4m + 1) π/14
Solving these 1 = 3m – 7n
First solution is m = 5, n = 2
Second solution is m = 12, n = 5
So two solutions are possible
