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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x+2 \tan x=\frac{\pi}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow 2 \tan x=\frac{\pi}{2}-x\) \(\Rightarrow \tan x=-\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{\pi}{4}\) Number of soluitons of the given eauation is \('3'.\)
