1.Sol: Method 1:
The problem is much simple than it looks
For simplicity, let f x( ) denote, for possible
real numbers x, the function


sin x 1 sin ( )x.
It is fairly easy to that asx tends to infinity,,

f (x) tends to 0 by using mean value theorem.
(Not monotonically, it oscillates; but it tends to
0).
This implies that for each value of t 0 , there
is some value of x, say x 1 , such that if x x 1 ,
then f x t( ).
Therefore for each value of t 0 , there are
only finitely many positive integers n such that
f n t( ).
Therefore, in the language of the problem, for
each value of t 0 , the complement of Atis a
finite set.
Method 2:

have infinite elements.
Method 3: Using mean value theorem, there
exist a number N in the interval

We have sin n 1 sin n is negligibily

The given expression is comparable to it, so
we get  0 for all n 0. So there exists
infinite natural numbers, which satisfies the
given condition. Therefore for all T,A
