Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given function is \(f(x) = \mu \sin x + \dfrac{1}{3} \sin 3x\). The derivative of the function is \(f'(x) = \dfrac{d}{dx} (\mu \sin x + \dfrac{1}{3} \sin 3x) = \mu \cos x + \dfrac{1}{3} \cos 3x \times 3 = \mu \cos x + \cos 3x\). It is given that \(f'(x) = 0\) at…
