    If \[0<x<\pi \] and \[\cos x+\sin x=\frac{1}{2},\] then \[\tan x\] is

    A) \[\frac{1-\sqrt{7}}{4}\]              

    B) \[\frac{4-\sqrt{7}}{3}\]

    C) \[-\left( \frac{4+\sqrt{7}}{3} \right)\]                   

    D) \[\frac{1+\sqrt{7}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c]
    Given, \[\sin x+\cos x=\frac{1}{2},x\in (0,\pi )\]
    On squaring both sides, we get \[1+\sin 2x=\frac{1}{4}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sin 2x=\frac{1}{4}-1=-\frac{3}{4}<0\]
    \[\therefore \]\[x\in \left( \frac{\pi }{2},\pi  \right)\]
    \[\cos 2x=-\,\sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}2x}\]
    \[=-\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{16}}=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}\]
    \[\tan x=\frac{1-\cos 2x}{\sin 2x}\]\[=\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}}{\frac{-\,3}{4}}=-\left( \frac{4+\sqrt{7}}{3} \right)\]
