47) Question Explanation: Find the range of 'a' for which a trigonometric equation has
exactly two real roots in a given interval.

Concept: This question is based on Properties of trigonometric functions.

Solution:
ƒ(x) = 0 will have two real roots in (0, π)
when a – 3 ∈ (0, 1) ⇒ a ∈ (3, 4)

Final Answer: option (2)

48) ƒ(x) = sin2x – (a – 3 + 2)sinx + 2(a – 3)

= sin2x – (a – 3)sinx – 2sinx + 2(a – 3)
= sinx(sinx – (a – 3)) – 2(sinx – (a – 3))
ƒ(x) = (sinx – (a – 3))(sinx – 2)
ƒ(x) = 0 ⇒ sinx = a – 3 or sinx = 2 (No sol.)
∴ sinx = (a – 3) will have exactly one real not in [0, π] when a – 3 = 1 ⇒ a = 4
∵ a ∈ (3, 5)

49) Question Explanation: Find the range of 'a' for which a trigonometric expression is non-
negative for all real x.
Concept: Properties of quadratic functions.
ƒ(x) ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ (sinx – (a – 3))(sinx – 2) ≥0 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ sinx ≤ a – 3 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ sinx ≤ 1 ≤ a – 3 ⇒ 4 ≤ a
