  1. A 4
  2. B 8
  3. C 10
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& -\sqrt{7^2+5^2} \leq(7 \cos x+5 \sin x) \leq \sqrt{7^2+5^2} \\
& \Rightarrow-\sqrt{74} \leq(7 \cos x+5 \sin x) \leq \sqrt{74} \\
& \Rightarrow-8.6 \leq 2 \mathrm{k}+1 \leq 8.6 \\
& \Rightarrow-4.8 \leq \mathrm{k} \leq 3.8
\end{aligned}\)
Integral values of k are \(-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\)
Number of integral values of \(k=8\)
