a
If 0<α<π4, then the equation has both roots in (sinα, cosα)
b
If π4<α<π2, then the equation has both roots in (sinα, cosα)
c
If 0<α<π4, then one root lies in (−∞, sinα) and the other in (cosα, ∞)
d
If π4<α<π2, then one root lies in (−∞, cosα) and the other in (sinα, ∞)
answer is C.

Detailed Solution
Let f(x)=(x−sinα)(x−cosα)−2.Then, f(sinα)=−2<0 and f(cosα)=−2<0.So, sinα and cosα lie between the roots.For 0<α<π4,sinα
