Solution

The correct option is A only one real root which is positive if a > 1, b < 0

f'(x) = - cosx + a, if a > 1,then f(x) entirely increasing. So f(x) =0 has only one real root, which is positive if f(0) < 0 and negative if f(0) > 0.

Similarly when a < -1. Then f(x) entirely decreasing. So f(x) has only one real root which is negative if f(0) < 0 and positive if f(0) > 0
