Solution
The correct option is
A
k
<
−
1

Given
k
c
o
s
2
x
−
k
c
o
s
x
+
1
≥
0
∀
x
∈
(
−
∞
,
∞
)
Put
c
o
s
x
=
t
∴
k
t
2
−
k
t
+
1
≥
0
∀
t
∈
(
−
1
,
1
)
Now, Given expression must always be greater than zero for all values of t including extreme values of t.
Thus, put
t
=
−
1
in given expression, we get,
k
(
−
1
)
2
−
k
(
−
1
)
+
1
≥
0
∴
k
(
1
)
+
k
+
1
≥
0
∴
k
+
k
+
1
≥
0
∴
2
k
+
1
≥
0
∴
2
k
≥
−
1
∴
k
≥
−
1
2
∴
k
∈
(
−
1
2
,
∞
)
Similarly, put
t
=
1
in the given expression, we get,
k
(
1
)
2
−
k
(
1
)
+
1
≥
0
k
−
k
+
1
≥
0
1
≥
0
This condition is always satisfied for all values of k.
∴
k
∈
(
−
∞
,
∞
)
Thus, combining the solution is
k
∈
(
−
1
2
,
∞
)
