MCQ
$\sin \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5}} \right) = $
  • $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$
  • B
    $ - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{10}}$
  • D
    $ - \frac{1}{{10}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$
a
(a) Let ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5} = x$ ==> $\cos x = \frac{4}{5}$ .....$(i)$

Now $\sin \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5}} \right) = \sin \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)$ .....$(ii)$

From $(i),$ $\cos x = \frac{4}{5}$

==> $1 - 2{\sin ^2}\frac{x}{2} = \frac{4}{5}$

==> $2{\sin ^2}\frac{x}{2} = 1 - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$

$ \Rightarrow \sin \frac{x}{2} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{10}}} $.
