Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\tan ^{-1}(2 \sqrt{2})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=\sin x\) and \(y=\cos x\) intersects at \(x=\frac{\pi}{4}\)
\(\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)_{\text {for first curve at } x=\frac{\pi}{4}}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)_{\text {for second curve at } x=\frac{\pi}{4}}=-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Required angle \(=\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left\{\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}{1+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}\right\}=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\right)\)
\(=\tan ^{-1}(2 \sqrt{2})\)
