The set of values of a for which the equation cos2x+asinx=3a17 possesses a solution is c,d then d-c =
  

a
4
b
6
c
10
d
8

detailed solution

Correct option is A

1−2sin2x+asinx=3a−17⇒2sin2x−asinx+3a−18=0⇒sinx=a±a2−83a−184                  =a±a−124 =2a−124  or  3                    =a−62Now −1≤a−62≤1     −2≤a−6≤2⇒4≤a≤8
