    The general solution of the trigonometrical equation\[sin\text{ }x+cos\text{ }x=1\]for\[n=0,\pm 1.......\]is given by:

    A)  \[x=2n\pi \]

    B)  \[x=2n\pi +\pi /2\]

    C)  \[x=n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4}-\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    D)  \[x=2n\pi \]

    E)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have\[\sin \text{ }x+\cos \text{ }x=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sqrt{2}\left( \sin x\cos \frac{\pi }{4}+\cos x\sin \frac{\pi }{4} \right)=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow \sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\sin \frac{\pi }{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x+\frac{\pi }{4}=n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=n\pi +{{(-1)}^{n}}\frac{\pi }{4}-\frac{\pi }{4}\]
