The least difference between the roots, in the first quadrant 0xπ2 of the equation 4cosx23sin2x+cos2x+1=0, is

a
π6
b
π4
c
π3
d
π2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

We have   4cosx3cos2x−1+2cos2x=0⇒2cosx3cosx+22cosx−1=0⇒cosx=0 or cosx=12   ∵cosx≠-23 as 0≤x≤π2 ⇒x=π2  or  π3 ∴the difference of values is π2-π3=π6
