MCQ
Considering only the principal values, if $\tan ({\cos ^{ - 1}}x)$ $ = \sin \left[ {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)} \right]$, then $x$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
  • $\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$
d
(d) Put ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right) = \theta \,\, \Rightarrow \cot \theta = \frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore$ $\sin \theta = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}.$ Put ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \phi $, $\therefore$ $x = \cos \phi $
Also, $\tan \phi = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }},\,\,\,\,\,\therefore \,x = \cos \phi = \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$.

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $\mathrm{ABCD}$ are given by $\overrightarrow{A B}=2 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}+11 \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{A D}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$. The side $\mathrm{AD}$ is rotated by an acute angle $\alpha$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that $\mathrm{AD}$ becomes $\mathrm{AD}^{\prime}$. If $\mathrm{AD}^{\prime}$ makes a right angle with the side $\mathrm{AB}$, then the cosine of the angle $\alpha$ is given by
