    If \[\sin x+\cos x=\sqrt{\left( y+\frac{1}{y} \right)},x\in [0,\pi ],\]then

    A)  \[x=\frac{\pi }{4},y=1\]

    B)         \[y=0\]

    C)         \[y=2\]

    D)         \[x=\frac{3\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]     \[\frac{y+\frac{1}{y}}{2}\ge \sqrt{y.\frac{1}{y}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{\left( y+\frac{1}{y} \right)}\ge \sqrt{2}\] but \[|\sin x+\cos x|\le \sqrt{2}\] which is possible only when \[y+\frac{1}{y}=2\] \[\therefore \]  \[y=1\] and                        \[x=\frac{\pi }{4}\]
