If \(0 \leq x \leq 3\) and \(0 \leq y \leq 3\), then the number of solutions \((x, y)\) of the equation \(\left(\sqrt{\sin ^2 x-\sin x+\frac{1}{2}}\right) 2^{\sec ^2 y}=1\) is

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sqrt{\sin ^2 x-\sin x+\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{(\sin x - \frac{1}{2})^2 + \frac{1}{4}} \geq \frac{1}{2}\) \(2^{\sec ^2 y} \geq 2^1 = 2\) (since \(\sec^2 y \geq 1\)) For the equation to hold, both factors must attain their minimum values:…
