at pi / 2 , sin x is 1 ( seems you dozed off ) anyway , answer is 3

if two curves are symmetric abt any fixed line doesn't make any thing easier -- you can't just say what you said -- tell you what , this came in FIITJEE and they also solved it wrongly

As everyone knows...the 2 bumps r symmetric about x = pi.
And the graph of 2^cos x is also symmetric about x = pi.

So wht u've predicted is merely a wrong assumption.
And soumya stop thinking abt. this ... the Joker has already said "why so serious ??"

but once the graph of 2^cos x cuts that of | sin x | , the following things happen --

as | sin x | and cos x are both increasing in the interval pi - 3 pi / 2 , so obviously the graph of 2 ^ cos x will rise more sharply than that of the sine one -- so I don't think there will be 4 solutions ---

maybe I really am wrong -- I welcome everyone to clear this mess up -- : ) : 0

ARE YOU MAD ???????????????? HOW CAN | sin x | HAVE A VALUE 0 AT pi / 2 ????????????????

This is the first time ever that the Joker and the Dark Knight have shared a common idea .

Clearly der r 4 solns. .

the graph of 2^cos x cuts the sin curve in the middle 2 bumps at 4 points.
