    The general solution of  \[|\sin x|=\cos x\]is (when\[n\,\in \,I\]) given by

    A)                  \[n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}\]                 

    B)  \[2n\,\,\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C)                  \[n\,\,\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}\]                    

    D)  \[n\,\,\pi -\frac{\pi }{4}\]            

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[|\sin x|=\cos x\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\sin }^{2}}x={{\cos }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1-{{\cos }^{2}}x={{\cos }^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{\cos }^{2}}x=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos x=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \,x=+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] (\[\because \] cos x cannot be negative)    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=2n\,\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}\]
