    The equation \[2{{\cos }^{2}}\left( \frac{x}{2} \right).{{\sin }^{2}}x={{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}},\]\[0\le x\le \frac{\pi }{2}\] has

    A) one real solution

    B) no solution

    C) more than one real solution

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since \[{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{-2}}={{(x-{{x}^{-1}})}^{2}}+2\le 2\] and \[2{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}{{\sin }^{2}}x\le 2,\] \[\therefore \]  the given equation is valid only if \[2{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}{{\sin }^{2}}x=2\] \[\Leftrightarrow \,\,\cos \frac{x}{2}=\cos \,ecx=1,\]which cannot be true.
