    The angle between the curves \[y=\sin x\] and \[y=\cos x\] is                                                               [EAMCET 2003]

    A)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(2\sqrt{2})\]

    B)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(3\sqrt{2})\]

    C)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(3\sqrt{3})\]

    D)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(5\sqrt{2})\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               If \[\sin x=\cos x\Rightarrow x=\pi /4\]            If \[y=\sin x\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{x=\pi /4}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]            If \[y=\cos x\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{x=\pi /4}}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\]            \[\tan \theta =\frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{1+{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}=2\sqrt{2}\Rightarrow \,\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(2\sqrt{2})\].
