Solution and Explanation

Given :
\(\sqrt{1 + \cos (2x)} = \sqrt2 \tan^{-1}(\tan x)\)
\(⇒|\cos x|=\tan^{-1}(\tan x)\)  

Graph with lines and intersection

Number of solutions = Number of intersection points = 3.
So, the correct answer is 3.

Concepts Used:

Functions

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.

Kinds of Functions

The different types of functions are - 

One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.

Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.

Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.

Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
