If ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{5}$ for some $x \in ( - 1,\,1)$, then the value of ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x$ is
  • $\frac{{3\pi }}{{10}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{5\pi }}{{10}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{7\pi }}{{10}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{9\pi }}{{10}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{{3\pi }}{{10}}$
a
(a) ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{2}$

==> ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{2} - {\sin ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{\pi }{5} = \frac{{3\pi }}{{10}}$ .

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, $\tan \phi = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }},\,\,\,\,\,\therefore \,x = \cos \phi = \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$.

If $a, b, c$ be positive real numbers and the value of $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{a(a + b + c)}}{{bc}}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{b(a + b + c)}}{{ca}}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{c(a + b + c)}}{{ab}}} $,then $\tan \theta $ is equal to
  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\frac{{a + b + c}}{{abc}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a) $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{a(a + b + c)}}{{bc}}} $$ + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{b(a + b + c)}}{{ca}}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{c(a + b + c)}}{{ab}}} $
Let${s^2} = \frac{{a + b + c}}{{abc}}$
Hence $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{a^2}{s^2}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{b^2}{s^2}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {{c^2}{s^2}} $
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(as) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(bs) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(cs)$
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{as + bs + cs - abc{s^3}}}{{1 - ab{s^2} - ac{s^2} - bc{s^2}}}} \right]$
Hence $\tan \theta = \left[ {s\frac{{(a + b + c) - abc{s^2}}}{{1 - (ab + bc + ca){s^2}}}} \right]$
$ = \left[ {\frac{{s[(a + b + c) - (a + b + c)]}}{{1 - {s^2}(ab + bc + ca)}}} \right] = 0$,

$[$Since ${s^2}abc = (a + b + c)]$

Trick : Since it is an identity, so it will be true for any value of $a, b, c$.

Let $a = b = c = 1$, then $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 3 $ $ + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 3 $ $ + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 3 = \pi $ $ \Rightarrow \tan \theta = 0$.

${\cot ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{4} + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{5}{{13}} = $
  • ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{63}}{{65}}$
  • B
    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{12}}{{13}}$
  • C
    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{65}}{{68}}$
  • D
    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{5}{{12}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{63}}{{65}}$
a
(a) Let ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{4} = \theta \,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\cot \theta = \frac{3}{4}$

and $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {{\cot }^2}\theta } }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + (9/16)} }} = \frac{4}{5}$

Hence ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{4} + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{5}{{13}} = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5} + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{5}{{13}}$

$ = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{4}{5}.\sqrt {1 - \frac{{25}}{{169}}} + \frac{5}{{13}}.\,\sqrt {1 - \frac{{16}}{{25}}} } \right]$

$ = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{4}{5}.\frac{{12}}{{13}} + \frac{5}{{13}}.\frac{3}{5}} \right]$

$ = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{48 + 15}}{{65}}} \right] = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{{63}}{{65}}$.

If ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x - {\tan ^{ - 1}}y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}A,$ then $A$
  • A
    $x - y$
  • B
    $x + y$
  • $\frac{{x - y}}{{1 + xy}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{x + y}}{{1 - xy}}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{x - y}}{{1 + xy}}$
c
(c) Given that ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x - {\tan ^{ - 1}}y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}A$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{{x - y}}{{1 + xy}}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}A$.

Hence $A = \frac{{x - y}}{{1 + xy}}$.

If ${\tan ^{ - 1}}2x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3x = \frac{\pi }{4}$, then $x =$
  • A
    $-1$
  • $\frac{1}{6}$
  • C
    $ - 1,\,\frac{1}{6}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{6}$
b
(b) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}2x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3x = \frac{\pi }{4}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{{2x + 3x}}{{1 - (2x)\,(3x)}}} \right) = \frac{\pi }{4}\,$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{{5x}}{{1 - 6{x^2}}}} \right)\, = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{5x}}{{1 - 6{x^2}}} = 1\,$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,1 - 6{x^2} = 5x$

$\, \Rightarrow \,\,6{x^2} + 5x - 1 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,(x + 1)\,\left( {x - \frac{1}{6}} \right) = 0\,$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,x = - 1,\,\,\frac{1}{6}$

But $-1$ does not hold.

Trick : Check with the options. 

Obviously the equation holds for $x = \frac{1}{6}$, but not for $-1$.

If ${\cot ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3 = \frac{\pi }{2}$, then  $x =$
  • A
    $1/3$
  • B
    $1/4$
  • $3$
  • D
    $4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$3$
c
(c) We have ${\cot ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3 = \frac{\pi }{2}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\cot ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3 = \frac{\pi }{2}\,\, $

$\Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{x} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}3 = \frac{\pi }{2}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\frac{1}{x} + 3}}{{1 - \frac{1}{x}.3}}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{0}} \right)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{3x + 1}}{{x - 3}} = \frac{1}{0}\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,x = 3$

Aliter : As we know that, ${\tan ^{ - 1}}x + {\cot ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{2},$

therefore for the given question, $ x$ should be $3.$
