    If the roots of the given equation \[(\cos \,p-1){{x}^{2}}+(\cos p)x+\sin p=0\] are real, then

    A) \[p\in (-\pi ,0)\]            

    B)   \[p\in \left( -\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]

    C)   \[p\in (0,\pi )\]             

    D)   \[p\in (0,\,2\pi )\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given equation \[(\cos \,p-1){{x}^{2}}+(\cos p)x+\sin p=0\] Its discriminant \[D\ge 0\]  [\[\because \] roots are real] \[\Rightarrow \,{{\cos }^{2}}p-4\,(\cos \,p-1)\,\sin p\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \,{{\cos }^{2}}p-4\,\,\cos p\sin p+4\sin p\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{(\cos p-2\sin p)}^{2}}-4{{\sin }^{2}}p+4\sin p\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{(\cos p-2\sin p)}^{2}}+4\sin p(1-\sin p)\ge 0\]    ?.(i) Now \[(1-\sin p)\ge 0\]for all real p, \[\sin p>0\] for \[0<p<\pi .\] Therefore, \[4\sin p(1-\sin p)\ge 0\] when \[0<p<\pi \]or \[p\in (0,\pi ).\]
