If \(\sqrt{3}\left(\cos ^{2} x\right)=(\sqrt{3}-1) \cos x+1,\) the number of solutions of the given equation when \(x \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sqrt{3}(\cos x)^{2}-\sqrt{3} \cos x+\cos x-1=0\) \(\Rightarrow(\sqrt{3} \cos x+1)(\cos x-1)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \cos x=1\) or \(\cos x=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) (reject) \(\Rightarrow x=0\) only
