    If \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{(\cos x-\sin x)\ dx=\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\alpha )+c}\], then \[\alpha =\]  

    A)            \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    B)            \[-\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    C)            \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    D)            \[-\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Given that \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{(\cos x-\sin x)\,dx}=\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\alpha )+c\]            \[\Rightarrow \sin x+\cos x+c=\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\alpha )+c\]            \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}\left( \frac{\sin x}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{2}} \right)+c=\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\alpha )+c\]            \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}\sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)+c=\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\alpha )+c\]            \[\Rightarrow \sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\sin (x+\alpha )\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{\pi }{4}.\]
