Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The function f(x)=sin⁡xf(x) = \sin x is analyzed in the interval [π,2π][\pi, 2\pi].

Understanding the behavior in this interval:

At x=πx = \pi: sin⁡(π)=0\sin(\pi) = 0

Between π\pi and 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}: sin⁡x\sin x is negative

At x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}: sin⁡(3π2)=−1\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1 (lowest point)

Between 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2} and 2π2\pi: sin⁡x\sin x increases back toward 0

At x=2πx = 2\pi: sin⁡(2π)=0\sin(2\pi) = 0

In the interval [π,2π][\pi, 2\pi], the sine wave is entirely non-positive.


Statement (A): x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2} is a stationary point

A stationary point occurs where the derivative equals zero.

f′(x)=cos⁡xf'(x) = \cos x

At x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}:

f′(3π2)=cos⁡(3π2)=0f'\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = 0

Statement (A) is correct.


Statement (B): Its maximum value is 1

The function values in [π,2π][\pi, 2\pi] range from 00 to −1-1 and back to 00.

The highest value is 00 at the endpoints.

The value never reaches 11 in this interval.

Statement (B) is incorrect.


Statement (C): Its minimum value is -1

At x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}:

sin⁡(3π2)=−1\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1

This is the lowest point in the interval.

Statement (C) is correct.


Statement (D): It attains its maximum value at π\pi and 2π2\pi

The maximum value in [π,2π][\pi, 2\pi] is 00.

At x=πx = \pi: sin⁡(π)=0\sin(\pi) = 0

At x=2πx = 2\pi: sin⁡(2π)=0\sin(2\pi) = 0

The function attains its maximum value of 00 at both π\pi and 2π2\pi.

Statement (D) is correct.


Correct statements: (A), (C) and (D) only
