Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \because f(x)=a \sin x+\frac{1}{3} \sin 3 x \\ & f(x)=a \cos x+\frac{1}{3} \times 3 \cos 3 x \\ & \Rightarrow f(x)=a \cos x+\cos 3 x \\ & \because f(x) \text { has an extremum at } x=\frac{\pi}{3} \\ & \therefore a x \cos…
