## Try with Hints

First hint

$f(x)=xsinx-1=0$

which can be written as sinx=$\frac{1}{x}$ and f(x) has solution at those points where sinx and $\frac{1}{x}$ intersects

So let us draw the graph

here we see two graphs y=sin x and y=$\frac{1}{x}$

Second Hint

both graphs intersect at two points between $(0,2\pi]$

Final Step

or, number of roots is 2.
