Dear Shreya
 
when sinx >0
 
sin x =  cos x
 
tanx =1
 
x = n* pi + pi/4
 
similarly do this for sinx

Thanks for answering bt I also did it the same way as you did bt the correct answer is 2nπ + π/4 (where n belongs to Integers)...
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW?

As mod us present we have to remove it hence squaring both sides,
Sin2x=cos2x
tan2x = 1
x = npi + pi/4 or npi - pi/4
