##### Method of solving this CAT Question from CAT Geometry - Trigonometry : How you would relate the given and the asked term?

Cos x – Sin x = √2 Sin x

=> Cos x = Sin x + √2 Sin x
=> Cos x = Sin x + √2 Sin x
=> Sin x = $$frac{Cos x }{$√2 + 1$}$ * Cos x => Sin x = $\frac{$√2 - 1$}{(√2 - 1)}$ * $\frac{1}{$√2 + 1$}$ * Cos x => Sin x = $\frac{$√2 - 1$}{((√2)^2- (1)^2)}$ * Cos x => Sin x =$√2 - 1) Cos x
=> Sin x = √2 Cos x – Cos x
=> Sin x + Cos x = √2 Cos x

The question is "To find the value of Cos x + Sin x"

##### Hence, the answer is √2 Cos x

Choice A is the correct answer.
