MCQ
Find the value of $\tan ^{-1}\left[2 \cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
b
Let $\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}=x$

Then, $\sin x=\frac{1}{2}=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\therefore \tan ^{-1}\left[2 \cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$

$=\tan ^{-1}\left[2 \cos \left(2 \times \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right]$

$=\tan ^{-1}\left[2 \cos \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$

$=\tan ^{-1}\left[2 \times \frac{1}{2}\right]$

$=\tan ^{-1} 1=\frac{\pi}{4}$
