    The set of values of a for which the equation \[\sin x(\sin x+\cos x)=a\]has real solutions, is

    A) \[[1-\sqrt{2},\,\,1+\sqrt{2}]\]    

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

    C) \[[0,\,\,2+\sqrt{3}]\]                     

    D)  \[\left[ \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{2},\,\,\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{2} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have,                 \[\sin x(\sin x+\cos x)=a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{\sin }^{2}}x+2\sin x\cos x=2a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1-\cos 2x+\sin 2x=2a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin 2x-\cos 2x=2a-1\] This equation will have real solutions, if                 \[|2a-1|\,\,\le \sqrt{1+1}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1-\sqrt{2}\le 2a\le 1+\sqrt{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a\in \left[ \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{2},\,\,\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{2} \right]\]
