Detailed Solution

We know that, 

1|sinx||cosx|2

y=sinx+cosx=1

Let P and Q be the points of intersection of given curves.

Clearly, the given curves meet at points where y=1, so we get

 x2+1=5

x2=4 x=±2

Now, we have P(2,1) and Q(-2,1)

Differentiating x2+y2=5 w.r.t. x, we get

2x+2ydydx=0 dydx=-xy dydx(2,1)=-2

and dydx(-2,1)=2

Clearly, the slope of line y=1 is zero and the slope of the tangents at P and Q are (-2) and 2, respectively.

Thus, the angle of intersection is tan-1(2).

Hence,  the correct option is 1.
