    The equations\[\frac{2{{\cos }^{2}}x}{2{{\sin }^{2}}x}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+1}{{{x}^{2}}},\,\,0\le x\le \frac{x}{2}\]has:

    A)  one real solution

    B)  no real solution

    C)   more than one real solution

    D)   none of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{x}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}x={{x}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\sin }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}({{\cos }^{2}}x-{{\sin }^{2}}x)={{\sin }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}\cos 2x={{\sin }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}\cos 2x=\frac{1-\cos 2x}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{x}^{2}}\cos 2x=1-\cos 2x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos 2x(2{{x}^{2}}+1)=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos 2x=\frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\]            \[\because \]     \[-1\le \cos 2x\le 1\] \[\therefore \]  \[-1\le \frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\le 1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\ge -1\]                                 ? (i) and        \[\frac{1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\le 1\]                                    ? (ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[x=0\] But \[x=0\] does not satisfy the given equation, therefore no real solution exist.
