W II Read the passage and answer the questions from 4 to 8.

Consider an equation sin x – 2sin y = 3 ..........(i)
We know that sin x 1, sin y –1
So sin x  sin y  2 for all x and y..
Therefore, sin x – 2 sin y  3 if and only if sin x = 1 & sin y = –1
 
 x  2n  and y  2m 
2 2
Which is the required solution of given equation. To solve the equation (i), we have used the
boudedness of sin x rather than using conventional methods of solving equations.
In general we employ one or more of the following extreme value conditions.
(a)  1  sin x  1  | sin x |  1 and sin 2 x  1
(b)  1  cos x  1  | cos x |  1 and cos 2 x  1
