Correct answer
A

Step-by-step explanation



f(x) = sin2 x( + sinx) ....(1)

f'(x) = 2sinx cosx ( +sinx) + sin2x (cosx)

f'(x) = sin2x()

For maixma and minima, f'(x) = 0

sin2x = 0 or 2 + 3sinx = 0

when sin2x = 0 x = 0

or when 2 + 3sinx = 0

sin x =

As

-1 < sinx < 1

-1 < < 1

< <

- {0}

Note : If = 0 f(x) = sin3x [from (1)]

Which is monotonic. so no maxima/minima.
