Anoushka Arora,
Answer is (B) 1
Explanation
 
Squaring on both sides, we get
sin2x= cos4x
1-cos2x=cos4x
So cos2x+cos4x = 1
cos2x(1+cos2x) = 1
 
Hence Proved.
 
Warm Regards,

RHS
= 1
=cos^2x+ sin^2x
=sinx+sin^2x.           (Given that cos^2x=sinx)
 
=sinx(1+sinx)
=cos^2x(1+cos^2x) =LHS
 
Hence proved.
