Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2^{1-1 / \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that \(\mathrm{AM} \geq \mathrm{GM}\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{2^{\sin x}+2^{\cos x}}{2} \geq \sqrt{2^{\sin x} 2^{\cos x}}\) \(\Rightarrow 2^{\sin x}+2^{\cos x} \geq 2 \sqrt{2^{\sin x+\cos x}}\)…
