    The general solution of \[\sin x-\cos x=\sqrt{2}\], for any integer n is [Karnataka CET 2005]

    A) \[n\pi \]

    B) \[2n\pi +\frac{3\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[2n\pi \]

    D) \[(2n+1)\,\pi \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\sin x\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\cos x\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=1\Rightarrow \cos \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=-1\] Þ  \[x+\frac{\pi }{4}=2n\pi \pm \pi \Rightarrow 2n\pi +\frac{3\pi }{4}\text{or}\,\,2n\pi -\frac{5\pi }{4}\] .
