    Let f be an odd function defined on the set of real numbers such that for \[x\ge 0,\]\[f(x)=3sinx+4cosx.\] Then f(x) at \[x=-\frac{11\pi }{6}\]is equal to:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 11 Apirl  2014 )

    A) \[\frac{3}{2}+2\sqrt{3}\]                              

    B) \[-\frac{3}{2}+2\sqrt{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{2}-2\sqrt{3}\]                               

    D) \[-\frac{3}{2}-2\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Given f be an odd function \[f(x)=3sinx+4cosx\] Now,\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=3\sin \left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)+4\cos \left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)\] \[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=3\sin \left( -2\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} \right)+4\cos \left( -2\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\]\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=3\sin \left\{ -\left( 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} \right) \right\}+4\cos \left\{ -\left( 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} \right) \right\}\]\[\sin (-\theta )=-sin\theta \] \[\left\{ \text{For}\,\text{odd}\,\text{functions}\begin{matrix}    \sin (-\theta )=-sin\theta   \\    and\sin (-\theta )=-\cos \theta   \\ \end{matrix} \right\}\] \[\therefore \]\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=-3\sin \left( 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} \right)-4\cos \left( 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=+3\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)-4\cos \frac{\pi }{6}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=3\times \frac{1}{2}-4\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] or\[f\left( \frac{-11\pi }{6} \right)=\frac{3}{2}-2\sqrt{3}\]
