If 0x<2π, then the number of real values of x, which satisfy the equation cosx+cos2x+cos3x+cos4x=0 , is

a
5
b
7
c
9
d
3

detailed solution

Correct option is B

cos4x+cosx+cos3x+cos2x=0 ⇒2cos5x2cos3x2+2cos5x2cosx2=0  by transformations ⇒cos5x2cos3x2+cosx2=0 ⇒cos5x22cosx cosx2=0 ⇒∴x=π5,π2,3π5,π,7π5,3π2,9π5
