    The number of solution of the given equation \[a\sin x+b\cos x=c\] ,  where \[|c|\,>\,\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}},\]is [DCE 1998]

    A) 1

    B) 2

    C) Infinite

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{a}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\sin x+\frac{b}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\cos x=\frac{c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\] \[\sin (x+\alpha )=\frac{c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}>1\],  (as given) Hence there is no solution.
