    The equation \[{{\sin }^{4}}x-(k+2){{\sin }^{2}}x-(k+3)=0\]possesses a solution if

    A) \[k>-3\]

    B) \[k<-2\]

    C) \[-3\le k\le -2\]

    D) k is any positive integer

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have, \[{{\sin }^{4}}x-(k+2){{\sin }^{2}}x-(k+3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\sin }^{2}}x=\frac{(k+2)\pm \sqrt{{{(k+2)}^{2}}+4(k+3)}}{2}\] \[=\frac{(k+2)\pm (k+4)}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{\sin }^{2}}x=k+3\]  (\[\because \,\,{{\sin }^{2}}x=-1\] is not possible) Since \[0\le {{\sin }^{2}}x\le 1,\]  \[\therefore \,\,\,0\le k+3\le 1\] or  \[-3\le k\le -2\]
