    The equation \[\sin x+\cos x=2\]has [EAMCET 1986; MP PET 1998; Pb. CET 1993]

    A) One solution

    B) Two solutions

    C) Infinite number of solutions

    D) No solutions

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    No solution as \[|\sin x|\le 1,\,|\cos x|\le 1\] and both of them do not attain their maximum value for the same angle. Aliter: Since the maximum value of \[(\sin x+\cos x)\]            = \[\sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\]. Hence there is no \[x\]satisfying\[\sin x+\cos x=2\].
