$5$

C

$4$

D

$6$

(JEE MAIN-2013)

Solution

$\sin \,2x\, – 2\,\cos \,x\, + \,4\,\sin \,x\, = 4$

$ \Rightarrow \,2\,\sin \,x.\,\cos \,x – 2\,\cos \,x\, + \,4\,\sin \,x – 4 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \,(\sin \,x – 1)(\cos \,x – 2)\, = \,0$

$\because \,\cos \,x\, – \,2\, \ne \,0\,,$     $\therefore \,\sin \,x\, = 1$

$\therefore \,\,x\, = \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{{5\pi }}{2},\frac{{9\pi }}{2}$
