Nice one. My method was a bit longer than this but was is surely loads better. Thanks for penning down this solution.
dear fan pl. teel me basic for above type of question solution......

Hmmm, for tigonometry question (i.e. c o s , s i n , t a n ...), you will need to learn the basics first. You can go look up any highschool textbook or simply search the net for basic trigonometry. Then, after the basics, you will need to know some trigonometry identities like the ones above.
The trololol solution:
Plugging in x=Pi, we see that only 1 and 2 work.
Plugging in x=Pi/2, we get that only 2 works. QED
I never said in the question that x = Π .And could you please explain how you did it.

Technically,any value of x will work.Therefore,we just need to plug in several values and find the common answer.
best way to solve mcq
there is a much easier way, though elementary SUBSTITUTE X=(pie)/2 and check the options

I used sum of product identities to solve this question. ( Proofs of these formula here ). The formulas I used is as follows:
Notice that the question simplifies into:
2 − ( c o s 5 x − c o s 3 x ) + c o s 7 x + c o s 5 x 2 s i n 7 x − s i n x − ( s i n 3 x − s i n x ) = c o s 7 x + c o s 3 x s i n 7 x − s i n 3 x
Using the above formula 1 and 2 , the expression becomes: 2 c o s 5 x ⋅ c o s 2 x 2 c o s 5 x ⋅ s i n 2 x = c o s 2 x s i n 2 x = t a n 2 x
