${\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x - {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x - {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x $
b
(b) Let $x = \sin \theta $ and $\sqrt x = \sin \phi $
Hence ${\sin ^{ - 1}}(x\sqrt {1 - x} - \sqrt x \,\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} )$
$ = {\sin ^{ - 1}}(\sin \theta \sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}\phi } - \sin \phi \sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}\theta } )$
$ = {\sin ^{ - 1}}(\sin \theta \cos \phi - \sin \phi \cos \theta ) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sin \,(\theta - \phi )$
$ = \theta - \phi = {\sin ^{ - 1}}(x) - {\sin ^{ - 1}}(\sqrt x )$.

- A
$1$
- B
$\sqrt 3 $
- ✓
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
c
(c) We have ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\frac{{1 - x}}{{1 + x}} = \frac{1}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left[ {\frac{{1 - \tan \theta }}{{1 + \tan \theta }}} \right] = \frac{1}{2}\theta $ (Putting $x = \tan \theta )$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left[ {\frac{{\tan \frac{\pi }{4} - \tan \theta }}{{1 + \tan \frac{\pi }{4}\tan \theta }}} \right] = \frac{\theta }{2}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\tan \,\left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - \theta } \right) = \frac{\theta }{2}\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{\pi }{4} - \theta = \frac{\theta }{2}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\theta = \frac{\pi }{6} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x\,\, $
$\Rightarrow \,\,x = \tan \frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$.

$ - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $
- C
${\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{x^2} - 1} $
- D
$\pi - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $
AnswerCorrect option: B. $ - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $
b
(b) Let ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x = y.$ Then $x = \sin y$
Since $ - 1 \le x \le 0,$ therefore $\frac{{ - \pi }}{2} \le {\sin ^{ - 1}}x \le 0$
and so $\frac{{ - \pi }}{2} \le y \le 0$
We have $\cos y = \sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}y} $
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\cos y = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $, for $0 \le y \le \pi $ …..$(i)$
Now $ - \frac{\pi }{2} \le y \le 0\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{\pi }{2} \ge - y \ge 0$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\cos \,\left( { - y} \right) = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $ {from $(i)$}
$ \Rightarrow \,\, - y = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} \,\, $
$\Rightarrow \,\,y = - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $.

If $\tan ^{ - 1}x + \tan ^{ - 1}y + \tan ^{ - 1}z = \frac{\pi }{2},$ then
- A
$x + y + z - xyz = 0$
- B
$x + y + z + xyz = 0$
- C
$xy + yz + zx + 1 = 0$
- ✓
$xy + yz + zx - 1 = 0$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $xy + yz + zx - 1 = 0$
d
(d) Given that $\tan ^{ - 1}x + \tan ^{ - 1}y + \tan ^{ - 1}z = \frac{\pi }{2},$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left[ {\frac{{x + y + z - xyz}}{{1 - xy - yz - xz}}} \right] = \frac{\pi }{2}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\left[ {\frac{{x + y + z - xyz}}{{1 - xy - yz - zx}}} \right] = \tan \frac{\pi }{2} = \frac{1}{0}$
Hence $xy + yz + zx - 1 = 0$.
Trick : $x = y = z = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }},$ so that
${\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{\pi }{2}$
Obviously $ (d)$ holds for these values of $x, y, z.$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $ \pm \sqrt {\frac{5}{2}} $
c
(c) We have ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 2}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{x + 1}}{{x + 2}} = \frac{\pi }{4}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left[ {\frac{{\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 2}} + \frac{{x + 1}}{{x + 2}}}}{{1 - \left( {\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 2}}} \right)\,\left( {\frac{{x + 1}}{{x + 2}}} \right)}}} \right] = \frac{\pi }{4}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\left[ {\frac{{2x\,(x + 2)}}{{{x^2} + 4 + 4x - {x^2} + 1}}} \right] = \tan \frac{\pi }{4}$
==> $\,\,\frac{{2x\,(x + 2)}}{{4x + 5}} = \tan \frac{\pi }{4} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,2{x^2} + 4x = 4x + 5$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,x = \pm \sqrt {\frac{5}{2}} $.

d
(d) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(x - 1) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(x) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(x + 1) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}3x$
$ \Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}(x - 1) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(x) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}3x - {\tan ^{ - 1}}(x + 1)$
$ \Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{(x - 1) + x}}{{1 - (x - 1)(x)}}} \right] = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{3x - (x + 1)}}{{1 + 3x(x + 1)}}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{2x - 1}}{{1 - {x^2} + x}} = \frac{{2x - 1}}{{1 + 3{x^2} + 3x}}$

Answerb
(b) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(x) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(y) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(z) = \pi $
==> ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}y = \pi - {\tan ^{ - 1}}z$
==> $\frac{{x + y}}{{1 - xy}} = - z \Rightarrow x + y = - z + xyz$
==> $x + y + z = xyz$
(b) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(x) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(y) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(z) = \pi $
==> ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}y = \pi - {\tan ^{ - 1}}z$
==> $\frac{{x + y}}{{1 - xy}} = - z \Rightarrow x + y = - z + xyz$
==> $x + y + z = xyz$
Dividing by $ xyz,$ we get
$\frac{1}{{yz}} + \frac{1}{{xz}} + \frac{1}{{xy}} = 1$.
Note: Students should remember this question as a formula.

(d) Since $2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{2x}}{{1 - {x^2}}}$
$\therefore$ $4{\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{5} = 2\,\left[ {2{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{5}} \right] = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{\frac{2}{5}}}{{1 - \frac{1}{{25}}}}$

The solution of ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x - {\sin ^{ - 1}}2x = \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$ is
AnswerCorrect option: D. $ \pm \frac{1}{2}$
d
(d) ${\sin ^{ - 1}}2x = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x - {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$
${\sin ^{ - 1}}2x = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {x\sqrt {\left( {1 - \frac{3}{4}} \right)} - \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)$
$2x = \left( {\frac{x}{2} - \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)$
$\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} = \frac{x}{2} - 2x = \frac{{ - 3x}}{2}$
$\frac{{3(1 - {x^2})}}{4} = \frac{{9{x^2}}}{4}$
$ \Rightarrow 3 - 3{x^2} = 9{x^2}$

If $\tan ({\cos ^{ - 1}}x) = \sin \left( {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{2}} \right)$, then $x =$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $ \pm \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$
b
(b) Given that $\tan \{ {\cos ^{ - 1}}(x)\} = \sin \left( {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{2}} \right)$
Let ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{2} = \phi \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \cot \phi $
$ \Rightarrow \sin \phi = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {{\cot }^2}\phi } }} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
Let ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \theta \Rightarrow \sec \theta = \frac{1}{x} $
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \sqrt {{{\sec }^2}\theta - 1} $
$ \Rightarrow \tan \theta = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} - 1} $
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}{x}$
So, $\tan \{ {\cos ^{ - 1}}(x)\} = \sin \left( {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{2}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow \tan \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\frac{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}{x}} \right) = \sin \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}{x} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }} \Rightarrow \sqrt {(1 - {x^2})5} = 2x$
Squaring both sides, we get $x = \pm \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$.

Answera
(a) Given equation is $2{\cos ^{ - 1}}x + {\sin ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{{11\pi }}{6}$
==> ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x + ({\cos ^{ - 1}}x + {\sin ^{ - 1}}x) = \frac{{11\pi }}{6}$
==> ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x + \frac{\pi }{2} = \frac{{11\pi }}{6}$
$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}x = 4\pi /3$
which is not possible as ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x \in [0,\,\pi ]$.

The value of $\sin {\cot ^{ - 1}}\tan {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$ is equal to
- ✓
$x$
- B
$\frac{x }{2}$
- C
$2x$
- D
Answera
(a) Let ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \theta \,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,x = \cos \theta \,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\sec \theta = \frac{1}{x}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\tan \theta = \sqrt {{{\sec }^2}\theta - 1} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{{x^2}}} - 1} = \frac{1}{x}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $
Now $\sin \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}\tan \theta = \sin \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{1}{x}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)$
Again, putting $x = \sin \theta $
$\sin \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{x}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right) = \sin \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}\theta } }}{{\sin \theta }}} \right)$
$ = \sin \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}\,(\cot \theta ) = \sin \theta = x$.

Since $0 \le x \le 1\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,0 \le {\tan ^{ - 1}}x \le \frac{\pi }{4}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,0 \ge - {\tan ^{ - 1}}x \ge \frac{{ - \pi }}{4} $
$\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \ge \frac{\pi }{4} - {\tan ^{ - 1}}x \ge 0$

Answerb
(b) ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\sin ^{ - 1}}y + {\sin ^{ - 1}}z = \frac{\pi }{2}$
Put ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x = \alpha $, ${\sin ^{ - 1}}y = \beta ,$ ${\sin ^{ - 1}}z = \gamma $
$\therefore $ $\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \frac{\pi }{2}$, (Given)
or $\alpha + \beta = \frac{\pi }{2} - \gamma $ or $\cos (\alpha + \beta ) = \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - \gamma } \right)$
$\cos \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \alpha \sin \beta = \sin \gamma $ …..$(i)$
and, we have $\sin \alpha = x$ ==> $\cos \alpha = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} $
Similarly, $\cos \beta = \sqrt {1 - {y^2}} $
$\therefore $ From equation $(i),$ we get $\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} .\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} = xy + z$
Squaring both sides, we have ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 1$.

AnswerCorrect option: D. $\frac{\pi }{2}$
d
(d) Given, ${\sec ^{ - 1}}x = {\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^{ - 1}}y$
${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{y}} \right)$ $ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right) = \frac{\pi }{2} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{y}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{y}} \right) = \frac{\pi }{2}$.

$\cot^{-1}(1) + \cot^{-1} (\frac{1}{2}) + \cot^{-1}(\frac{1}{3}) =$
- A
$0$
- B
$\frac{3 \pi}{4}$
- C
$\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
- ✓
$\pi$
Answerd
$\cot^{-1}(1) + \cot^{-1} (\frac{1}{2}) + \cot^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})$
$=\tan ^{-1}(1)+\tan ^{-1}(2)+\tan ^{-1}(3)$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}+\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-\cot ^{-1} 2\right]+\frac{\pi}{2}-\cot ^{-1} 3$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2}-\left[\cot ^{-1}(2)+\cot ^{-1}(3)\right]$
$=\frac{5 \pi}{4}-\left[\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\right]$
$=\frac{5 \pi}{4}-\left[\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}}{1-\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}}\right)\right]$
$=\frac{5 \pi}{4}-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}}\right)$
$=\frac{5 \pi}{4}-\tan ^{-1}(1)$
$=\frac{5 \pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{4}$
$=\pi$
