MCQ
If ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right) = \frac{\pi }{2},$ then  $x $ is
  • A
    $0$
  • $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
b
(b) $\because$ ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{2} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}$

Hence given equation can be written as

${\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }} = \frac{\pi }{2}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $x = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}$.
