The sum of possible values of $x$ for $\tan ^{-1}( x +1)+\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{ x -1}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{31}\right)$ is
- ✓
$-\frac{32}{4}$
- B
$-\frac{31}{4}$
- C
$-\frac{30}{4}$
- D
$-\frac{33}{4}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $-\frac{32}{4}$
a
$\tan ^{-1}(x+1)+\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}\right)=\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{31}$
Taking tangent both sides :-
$\frac{(x+1)+(x-1)}{1-\left(x^{2}-1\right)}=\frac{8}{31}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{2-x^{2}}=\frac{8}{31}$
$\Rightarrow 4 x^{2}+31 x-8=0$
$\Rightarrow x =-8, \frac{1}{4}$
But, if $x=\frac{1}{4}$
$\tan ^{-1}(x+1) \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$\& \cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}\right) \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$
$\Rightarrow LHS >\frac{\pi}{2} \& RHS <\frac{\pi}{2}$
(Not possible)
Hence, $x=-8$

Given that the inverse trigonometric functions take principal values only. Then, the number of real values of $x$ which satisfy $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 x}{5}\right)+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4 x}{5}\right)=\sin ^{-1} x$ is equal to:
Answerc
$\sin ^{-1} \frac{3 x}{5}+\sin ^{-1} \frac{4 x}{5}=\sin ^{-1} x$
$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{16 x^{2}}{25}}+\frac{4 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{9 x^{2}}{25}}\right)=\sin ^{-1} x$
$\frac{3 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{16 x^{2}}{25}}+\frac{4 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{9 x^{2}}{25}}=x$
$x=0,3 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}+4 \sqrt{25-9 x^{2}}=25$
$4 \sqrt{25-9 x^{2}}=25-3 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$ squaring we get
$16\left(25-9 x^{2}\right)=625+9\left(25-16 x^{2}\right)-150 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$
$400=625+225-150 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$
$\sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}=3 \Rightarrow 25-16 x^{2}=9$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}=1$
Put $x=0,1,-1$ in the original equation We see that all values satisfy the original equation.

Answerb
Given equation
$\sin ^{-1}\left[x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right]+\cos ^{-1}\left[x^{2}-\frac{2}{3}\right]=x^{2}$
Now, $\sin ^{-1}\left[x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right]$ is defined if
$-1 \leq x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}<2 \Rightarrow \frac{-4}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3} ......(1)$
and $\cos ^{-1}\left[ x ^{2}-\frac{2}{3}\right]$ is defined if
$-1 \leq x^{2}-\frac{2}{3}<2 \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{8}{3}$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{8}{3}......(2)$
So, form $(1)$ and $(2)$ we can conclude
$0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$
Case $- I$ if $0 \leq x ^{2}<\frac{2}{3}$
$\sin ^{-1}(0)+\cos ^{-1}(-1)=x^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x +\pi= x ^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}=\pi$
but $\pi \notin\left[0, \frac{2}{3}\right)$
$\Rightarrow$ No value of $'x'$
Case $- II$ if $\frac{2}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$
$\sin ^{-1}(1)+\cos ^{-1}(0)= x ^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2}= x ^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}=\pi$
but $\pi \notin\left[\frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{3}\right)$
$\Rightarrow$ No value of $'x'$
So, number of solutions of the equation is $zero.$

So, $a+b=\frac{\pi}{2 r}$
$\cos \left(\frac{\pi c }{ a + b }\right)=\cos \left(\frac{\pi \tan ^{-1} y }{\frac{\pi}{2 r } r }\right)$
$=\cos \left(2 \tan ^{-1} y \right),$ let $\tan ^{-1} y =\theta$
$=\cos (2 \theta)$
$=\frac{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}=\frac{1- y ^{2}}{1+ y ^{2}}$

$(a+b)-\left(\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{a^{3}+b^{3}}{3}\right)-\left(\frac{a^{4}+b^{4}}{4}\right)+\ldots$ is ..... .
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\log _{ e } 2$
a
$\tan ^{-1} a +\tan ^{-1} b =\frac{\pi}{4} \quad 0< a , b <1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{a+b}{1-a b}=1$
$a+b=1-a b$

Now $\left[ a -\frac{ a ^{2}}{2}+\frac{ a ^{3}}{3}+\ldots\right]+\left[ b -\frac{ b ^{2}}{2}+\frac{ b ^{3}}{3}+\ldots\right]$
$=\log _{e}(1+a)+\log _{e}(1+b)$
$\left(\because\right.$ expansion of $\left.\log _{ e }(1+ x )\right)$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$
a
$f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1}\right)$
For domain :
$-1 \leq \frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \leq 1$
since $|x|+5 \& x^{2}+1$ is always positive
So $\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \geq 0 \forall x \in R$
So for domain :
$\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \leq 1$
$\Rightarrow|x|+5 \leq x^{2}+1$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}-|x|-4$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq\left(|x|-\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}\right)\left(|x|-\frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow|x| \geq \frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$ or $|x| \leq \frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2} \quad($ Rejected $)$
$\Rightarrow x \in\left(-\infty,-\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}\right] \cup\left[\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}, \infty\right)$

AnswerCorrect option: A. Both statements $I$ and $II$ are true.
a
${\sin ^{ - 1}}x \in \left[ { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow - \frac{{3\pi }}{4} \le \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \le \frac{\pi }{4}$
$0 \le {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} \le \frac{9}{{16}}{\pi ^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( 1 \right)$
Statement $II$ is true
${\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right)^3} + {\left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)^3} = a{\pi ^3}$
$\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)\left[ {{{\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)}^2} - 3{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x{{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right] = a{\pi ^3}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{4} - 3{\sin ^{ - 1}}x{\cos ^{ - 1}}x = 2a{\pi ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - {{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right) = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{12}}\left( {1 - 8a} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{12}}\left( {1 - 8a} \right) + \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{16}}$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{48}}\left( {32a - 1} \right)$
Putting this value in equation $(1)$
$0 \le \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{48}}\left( {32a - 1} \right) \le \frac{9}{{16}}{\pi ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow 0 \le 32a - 1 \le 27$
$\frac{1}{{32}} \le a \le \frac{7}{8}$
Statement - $I$ is also true.

b
Given ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x > {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$ where $x \in \left( {0,1} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{2} - {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$
$ \Rightarrow 2{\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{4}$
$ \Rightarrow x > \sin \frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow x > \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
MNaximum value of ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x$ is $\frac{\pi }{2}$
So, maximum value of $x$ is $1$. So,
$x \in \left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }},1} \right)$.

$(D)$ $\tan \left( S _{ n }( x )\right)=\frac{ nx }{1+( n +1) x ^2} ; \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0$
We need to check the validity of $\frac{ nx }{1+( n +1) x ^2} \leq \frac{1}{2} \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0 ; n \in N$
$\Rightarrow 2 nx \leq( n +1) x ^2+1$
$\Rightarrow( n +1) x ^2-2 nx +1 \geq 0 \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0 ; n \in N$
Discriminant of $y=(n+1) x^2-2 n x+1$ is
$D=4 n^2-4(n+1) \text { and } n \in N$
$D >0$ for $n \geq 2 \Rightarrow \exists$ some $x >0$
for which $y <0$ as both roots of $y =0$ will be positive.
$y =( n +1) x ^2-2 nx +1, n \geq 2$
So, $y \geq 0 \forall n \geq 1 ; \forall x >0 ; n \in N$ is false.

AnswerCorrect option: A. $A \rightarrow p ; B \rightarrow q ; C \rightarrow p ; D \rightarrow s$
a
$(A)$ If $\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=0$
then $\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y=0$
$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x=-\cos ^{-1} y $
$ \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=1 .$
$(B) $If $a=1$ and $b=1$, then
$ \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y+\cos ^{-1} x y=\frac{\pi}{2} $
$ \Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} y=\cos ^{-1} x y $
$ \Rightarrow x y+\sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=x y$
(taking sine on both the sides)
$(C)$ If $\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=2$
$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y+\cos ^{-1}(2 x y)= \frac{\pi}{2} $
$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y=\sin ^{-1}(2 x y) $
$ \Rightarrow x y+\sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=2 x y $
$ \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=1 \text { (on squaring). }$
$(D)$ If $a=2$ and $b=2$ then
$ \sin ^{-1}(2 x)+\cos ^{-1}(y)+\cos ^{-1}(2 x y)=\frac{\pi}{2} $
$ \Rightarrow 2 x y+\sqrt{1-4 x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=2 x y $

$ - \frac{1}{2}$
- B
$\frac{1}{2}$
- C
$0$
- D
$\frac{9}{4}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $ - \frac{1}{2}$
a
(a) $\sin [{\cot ^{ - 1}}(x + 1)] = \sin \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }}} \right)$
$ = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }}$
$\cos ({\tan ^{ - 1}}x) = \cos \left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}} \right) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$
Thus, $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 2x + 2 = 1 + {x^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = - \frac{1}{2}$.

Answerb
(b) We know that ${\sin ^{ - 1}}y + {\cos ^{ - 1}}y = \frac{\pi }{2},|y|\, \le \,1$
$\therefore $ According to question,
$x - \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^3}}}{4} - ... = {x^2} - \frac{{{x^4}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^6}}}{4}...$
==> $\frac{x}{{1 + \frac{x}{2}}} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{1 + \frac{{{x^2}}}{2}}},$
==> $\frac{x}{{2 + x}} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2 + {x^2}}}$
==> $2x + {x^3} = 2{x^2} + {x^3}$ ==> $x = {x^2}$
$\therefore \,x - {x^2} = 0\, \Rightarrow x(1 - x) = 0\, \Rightarrow x = 0$ and $x = 1$,
but $x \ne 0.$ So, $x = 1$.

(c) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {x(x + 1)} + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{x^2} + x + 1} = \frac{\pi }{2}$
${\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {x(x + 1)} $ is defined when
$x(x + 1) \ge 0$…..$(i)$
${\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{x^2} + x + 1} $ is defined when
$0 \le x(x + 1) + 1 \le 1$ or $0 \le x(x + 1) \le 0$…..$(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii),$ $x(x + 1) = 0$
or $x = 0$ and $-1. $
Hence number of solution is $2.$
