1. (4)

Given,
−1 x+1 −1 x π
sin ( )− sin ( )=
√x2 +2x+2 √x2 +1 4

−1 x+1 π −1 x
⇒ sin ( )= + sin
√x2 +x+2 4 √x2 +1

x+1 π −1 x
⇒( )= sin( + sin )
√x2 +x+2 4 √x2 +1

x+1 1 1 1 x
⇒( )= × + ×
√x2 +x+2 √2 √x2 +1 √2 √x2 +1

x+1 x+1
⇒ =
√x2 +x+2 √2√x2 +1

2 2
⇒(x + 1)(√2√x + 1 − √x + x + 2)= 0

⇒ x = −1 or √x 2 2
+ x + 2 = √2 ⋅ √x + 1

Now solving, √x 2 2
+ x + 2 = √2 ⋅ √x + 1 we get,
2 2
x + x + 2 = 2(x + 1)

2
⇒ x − x = 0

⇒ x = 0, x = 1 {rejected as x = 1 will not satisfy the given equation}

Hence, S ={0, 1}

Now solving,
2 π 2
∑ (sin(x + x + 5) − cos(x + x + 5)π)
n∈S 2

5π 5π
=(sin − cos 5π + sin − cos 5π)
2 2

= 1 −(−1)+1 −(−1)= 4

2. (2)

Given that sin −1

x = 2 tan
−1
x

−1 −1 2x
⇒ sin x = sin ( )
2
1+x

2x
⇒ x =( )
2
1+x

3
⇒ x + x = 2x

3
⇒ x − x = 0

2
⇒ x(x − 1) = 0

⇒ x = 0, −1, 1 .
But x ∈ (−1, 1], so the number of roots are 2, x = 0 & 1
