Solution
The correct option is
B
x
=
2
n
π
−
π
6
±
π
3
,
n
∈
Z
Given equation is
√
3
cos
x
−
sin
x
=
1
Dividing both sides of the equation by
√
(
√
3
)
2
+
(
−
1
)
2
=
2
,
We obtain
(
√
3
2
)
cos
x
−
(
1
2
)
sin
x
=
1
2
Observing that
√
3
2
=
cos
π
6
and
1
2
=
sin
π
6
,
we get
cos
π
6
cos
x
−
sin
π
6
sin
x
=
1
2
That is
cos
(
x
+
π
6
)
=
1
2
=
cos
π
3
,
which gives
x
+
π
6
=
2
n
π
±
π

,
n
∈

Hence the solution is
x
=
