Correct answer: C

  1. Given equations

We are given: log⁡10(sin⁡x)+log⁡10(cos⁡x)=−1\log_{10}(\sin x)+\log_{10}(\cos x)=-1log10​(sinx)+log10​(cosx)=−1 for x∈(0,π2)x\in \left(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)x∈(0,2π​).

Using the log property, log⁡10(sin⁡xcos⁡x)=−1\log_{10}(\sin x\cos x)=-1log10​(sinxcosx)=−1 So, sin⁡xcos⁡x=10−1=110\sin x\cos x=10^{-1}=\frac{1}{10}sinxcosx=10−1=101​

  1. Find sin⁡x+cos⁡x\sin x+\cos xsinx+cosx

Use the identity: (sin⁡x+cos⁡x)2=sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x+2sin⁡xcos⁡x(\sin x+\cos x)^2=\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x+2\sin x\cos x(sinx+cosx)2=sin2x+cos2x+2sinxcosx Since sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1sin2x+cos2x=1 and sin⁡xcos⁡x=110,\sin x\cos x=\frac{1}{10},sinxcosx=101​, we get (sin⁡x+cos⁡x)2=1+2⋅110=1+15=65(\sin x+\cos x)^2=1+2\cdot \frac{1}{10}=1+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}(sinx+cosx)2=1+2⋅101​=1+51​=56​

Because x∈(0,π2)x\in\left(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)x∈(0,2π​), both sin⁡x\sin xsinx and cos⁡x\cos xcosx are positive, hence sin⁡x+cos⁡x=65\sin x+\cos x=\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}sinx+cosx=56​​

  1. Use the second given condition

We are also given: log⁡10(sin⁡x+cos⁡x)=12(log⁡10n−1)\log_{10}(\sin x+\cos x)=\frac{1}{2}(\log_{10} n-1)log10​(sinx+cosx)=21​(log10​n−1)

Substitute sin⁡x+cos⁡x=65\sin x+\cos x=\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}sinx+cosx=56​​: log⁡1065=12(log⁡10n−1)\log_{10}\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}=\frac{1}{2}(\log_{10} n-1)log10​56​​=21​(log10​n−1)

Now, log⁡1065=12log⁡10(65)\log_{10}\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}=\frac{1}{2}\log_{10}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)log10​56​​=21​log10​(56​) So, 12log⁡10(65)=12(log⁡10n−1)\frac{1}{2}\log_{10}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=\frac{1}{2}(\log_{10} n-1)21​log10​(56​)=21​(log10​n−1) Multiply both sides by 222: log⁡10(65)=log⁡10n−1\log_{10}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=\log_{10} n-1log10​(56​)=log10​n−1

Since 1=log⁡10101=\log_{10}101=log10​10, this becomes log⁡10(65)=log⁡10n−log⁡1010\log_{10}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=\log_{10} n-\log_{10}10log10​(56​)=log10​n−log10​10 log⁡10(65)=log⁡10(n10)\log_{10}\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=\log_{10}\left(\frac{n}{10}\right)log10​(56​)=log10​(10n​) Therefore, n10=65\frac{n}{10}=\frac{6}{5}10n​=56​ n=12n=12n=12

  1. Check options

The correct option is: 12\boxed{12}12​ which is Option C.
