The correct answer is: \( 2 \)

For xx+1 to be defined xx+10   ...i

Also, for sin-1x, we know that x-1, 1

 x2+x+11

x2+x0   ...ii

From i and ii, we get

xx+1=0

x=0,-1

When x=0,

L.H.S.=tan-10+sin-11=π2

And, when x=-1,

L.H.S.=tan-10+sin-11-1+1

=0+sin-11=π2

Thus, the number of solutions are 2.
