- C
$\frac{{7\pi }}{{10}}$
- D
$\frac{{9\pi }}{{10}}$
AnswerCorrect 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
$\frac{3}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
- ✓
$\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$
AnswerCorrect 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
Answera
(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$.

$ \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 $x =$
Answerc
(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 $3.$

If ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5} - {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}x,$ then $ x=$
Answerb
(b) ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5} - {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$
$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - \frac{{16}}{{25}}} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$
$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$
$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$.
