Given :


cos(x)cos((\pi )/(7)) + sin(x)sin((\pi )/(7))=-(√(2))/(2)

We know the identity


cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)=cos(x-y)

We use this property to simplify the left hand side

So
cos(x)cos((\pi )/(7)) + sin(x)sin((\pi )/(7))=cos(x - (\pi )/(7))


cos(x - (\pi )/(7)) =-(√(2))/(2))

we know ,

when
cos(x) =-(√(2))/(2)) then


x = (3\pi )/(4) , (5\pi )/(4)

For
cos(x - (\pi )/(7)) =-(√(2))/(2))


x - (\pi )/(7)= (3\pi )/(4) and x - (\pi )/(7)= (5\pi )/(4)

Add
(\pi )/(7) on both sides


x= (3\pi )/(4) + (\pi )/(7) and x= (5\pi )/(4) +(\pi )/(7)

Finally we add 2npi for general solution

So options C and D are correct
