The correct answer is: 2

Given cos3x=sin4x

cos3x=cosπ2-4x

If cosθ=cosα, then θ=2nπ±α, nZ,

3x=2nπ±π2-4x

3x=2nπ+π2-4x or 3x=2nπ-π2-4x

7x=2nπ+π2 or -x=2nπ-π2

x=27+π14 or x=-2nπ+π2

Since, -π6<x<π2, hence, we get x=π14, 5π14 by putting n=0, 1 in the first value and from the second value none of the value lie in the given interval.

Thus, there are total two solutions of the equation in the given interval.
