Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{a^2-b^2+1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\sin \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a} \cos \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{b}...(i)\) Let \(a \sin \mathrm{x}-\cos \mathrm{x}= \pm \alpha...(ii)\) on squanity and adding (i) and (ii) we got \(\mathrm{a}^2+1=\mathrm{b}^2+\alpha^2\) \[ \Rightarrow \alpha \sqrt{\mathrm{a}^2-\mathrm{b}^2+1} \]
