The correct answer is: 4

In the interval π, π all the values of sin|x| are positive as well as |cosx|
Hence in π, π, equation gets reduced to, 

2sinx=3cosx
Taking log on both sides,
sinxlog2=cosxlog3
 tanx=log3/log2 , value of tanx are positive in 1st and 3rd quadrant and negative in 2nd and 4th quadrant but positive for tanx in all the values of x in π, π.

Hence, tanx will repeat its value in all 4 quadrants, so the number of solutions are 4 .
