$\text { Given } \mathrm{a}=\left(\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)^{2}-\left(\cos ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)^{2}$

$=\left(\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}+\cos ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)\left(\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}-\cos ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)$

$=\frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-2 \cos ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)$

$\Rightarrow 2 \cos ^{-1} \mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\pi}$

$\Rightarrow \cos ^{-1}\left(2 \mathrm{x}^{2}-1\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\pi}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{x}^{2}-1=\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\pi}\right)$

MCQ 1031 Mark
The sum of possible values of $x$ for $\tan ^{-1}( x +1)+\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{ x -1}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{31}\right)$ is
  • $-\frac{32}{4}$
  • B
    $-\frac{31}{4}$
  • C
    $-\frac{30}{4}$
  • D
    $-\frac{33}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$-\frac{32}{4}$
a
$\tan ^{-1}(x+1)+\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}\right)=\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{31}$

Taking tangent both sides :-

$\frac{(x+1)+(x-1)}{1-\left(x^{2}-1\right)}=\frac{8}{31}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{2-x^{2}}=\frac{8}{31}$

$\Rightarrow 4 x^{2}+31 x-8=0$

$\Rightarrow x =-8, \frac{1}{4}$

But, if $x=\frac{1}{4}$

$\tan ^{-1}(x+1) \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$

$\& \cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}\right) \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$

$\Rightarrow LHS >\frac{\pi}{2} \& RHS <\frac{\pi}{2}$

(Not possible)

Hence, $x=-8$

$\sin ^{-1} \frac{3 x}{5}+\sin ^{-1} \frac{4 x}{5}=\sin ^{-1} x$

$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{16 x^{2}}{25}}+\frac{4 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{9 x^{2}}{25}}\right)=\sin ^{-1} x$

$\frac{3 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{16 x^{2}}{25}}+\frac{4 x}{5} \sqrt{1-\frac{9 x^{2}}{25}}=x$

$x=0,3 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}+4 \sqrt{25-9 x^{2}}=25$

$4 \sqrt{25-9 x^{2}}=25-3 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$ squaring we get

$16\left(25-9 x^{2}\right)=625+9\left(25-16 x^{2}\right)-150 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$

$400=625+225-150 \sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}$

$\sqrt{25-16 x^{2}}=3 \Rightarrow 25-16 x^{2}=9$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=1$

Put $x=0,1,-1$ in the original equation We see that all values satisfy the original equation.

  • A
    $2$
  • $0$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $Infinite$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0$
b
Given equation

$\sin ^{-1}\left[x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right]+\cos ^{-1}\left[x^{2}-\frac{2}{3}\right]=x^{2}$

Now, $\sin ^{-1}\left[x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right]$ is defined if

$-1 \leq x^{2}+\frac{1}{3}<2 \Rightarrow \frac{-4}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3} ......(1)$

and $\cos ^{-1}\left[ x ^{2}-\frac{2}{3}\right]$ is defined if

$-1 \leq x^{2}-\frac{2}{3}<2 \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{8}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{8}{3}......(2)$

So, form $(1)$ and $(2)$ we can conclude

$0 \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$

Case $- I$ if $0 \leq x ^{2}<\frac{2}{3}$

$\sin ^{-1}(0)+\cos ^{-1}(-1)=x^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x +\pi= x ^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=\pi$

but $\pi \notin\left[0, \frac{2}{3}\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ No value of $'x'$

Case $- II$ if $\frac{2}{3} \leq x^{2}<\frac{5}{3}$

$\sin ^{-1}(1)+\cos ^{-1}(0)= x ^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2}= x ^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=\pi$

but $\pi \notin\left[\frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{3}\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ No value of $'x'$

So, number of solutions of the equation is $zero.$

$\frac{\sin ^{-1} x }{ r }= a , \frac{\cos ^{-1} x }{ r }= b , \frac{\tan ^{-1} y }{ r }= c$

So, $a+b=\frac{\pi}{2 r}$

$\cos \left(\frac{\pi c }{ a + b }\right)=\cos \left(\frac{\pi \tan ^{-1} y }{\frac{\pi}{2 r } r }\right)$

$=\cos \left(2 \tan ^{-1} y \right),$ let $\tan ^{-1} y =\theta$

$=\cos (2 \theta)$

$=\frac{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}=\frac{1- y ^{2}}{1+ y ^{2}}$

    $\log _{ e }\left(\frac{ e }{2}\right)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\log _{ e } 2$
a
$\tan ^{-1} a +\tan ^{-1} b =\frac{\pi}{4} \quad 0< a , b <1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{a+b}{1-a b}=1$

$a+b=1-a b$

$(a+1)(b+1)=2$

Now $\left[ a -\frac{ a ^{2}}{2}+\frac{ a ^{3}}{3}+\ldots\right]+\left[ b -\frac{ b ^{2}}{2}+\frac{ b ^{3}}{3}+\ldots\right]$

$=\log _{e}(1+a)+\log _{e}(1+b)$

$\left(\because\right.$ expansion of $\left.\log _{ e }(1+ x )\right)$

$=\log _{e}[(1+a)(1+b)]$

$=\log _{e} 2$

The domain of the function $f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1}\right)$ is $(-\infty,-\mathrm{a}] \cup[\mathrm{a}, \infty) .$ Then $a$ is equal to 
  • $\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}+1$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$
a
$f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1}\right)$

For domain :

$-1 \leq \frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \leq 1$

since $|x|+5 \& x^{2}+1$ is always positive

So $\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \geq 0 \forall x \in R$

So for domain :

$\frac{|x|+5}{x^{2}+1} \leq 1$

$\Rightarrow|x|+5 \leq x^{2}+1$

$\Rightarrow 0 \leq x^{2}-|x|-4$

$\Rightarrow 0 \leq\left(|x|-\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}\right)\left(|x|-\frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow|x| \geq \frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$ or $|x| \leq \frac{1-\sqrt{17}}{2} \quad($ Rejected $)$

$\Rightarrow x \in\left(-\infty,-\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}\right] \cup\left[\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}, \infty\right)$

So, $a=\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$

  • $\frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{12}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{10}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\sqrt {146} }}{{12}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{11}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{12}}$
a
${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{2}{{3x}}} \right) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{3}{{4x}}} \right) = \frac{\pi }{2}\left( {x > \frac{3}{4}} \right)$

${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{2}{{3x}} \times \frac{3}{{4x}} - \sqrt {1 - \frac{4}{{9{x^2}}}} \sqrt {1 - \frac{9}{{16{x^2}}}} } \right) = \frac{\pi }{2}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{2{x^2}}} = \frac{{\sqrt {9{x^2} - 4} \sqrt {16{x^2} - 9} }}{{12{x^2}}}$

$ \Rightarrow 6 = \sqrt {9{x^2} - 4} \sqrt {16{x^2} - 9} $

Square both side

$36 = 144{x^4} - 81{x^2} - 64{x^2} + 36$

$ \Rightarrow 144{x^4} = 145{x^2}$

$ \Rightarrow {x^4} = \frac{{145{x^2}}}{{144}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow x =  \pm \frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{12}},0$

$\therefore x > \frac{3}{4}$ hence $x = \frac{{\sqrt {145} }}{{12}}$

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

Taking tangent on both side, we get $\frac{{2x + 3x}}{{1 - 6{x^2}}} = 1$

$ \Rightarrow 6{x^2} + 5x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \left( {x + 1} \right)\left( {6x - 1} \right) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{6}$  {$-1$is rejected as it does not satisfies the given equation}

Hence number of element in $S$ is one.

    Both statements $I$ and $II$ are false.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is true and statement $II$ is false
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false and statement $II$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Both statements $I$ and $II$ are true.
a
${\sin ^{ - 1}}x \in \left[ { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]$

$ \Rightarrow  - \frac{{3\pi }}{4} \le \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \le \frac{\pi }{4}$

$0 \le {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} \le \frac{9}{{16}}{\pi ^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( 1 \right)$

Statement $II$ is true 

${\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right)^3} + {\left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)^3} = a{\pi ^3}$

$\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)\left[ {{{\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right)}^2} - 3{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x{{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right] = a{\pi ^3}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{4} - 3{\sin ^{ - 1}}x{\cos ^{ - 1}}x = 2a{\pi ^2}$

$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - {{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right) = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{12}}\left( {1 - 8a} \right)$

$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{12}}\left( {1 - 8a} \right) + \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{16}}$

$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{48}}\left( {32a - 1} \right)$

Putting this value in equation $(1)$

$0 \le \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{48}}\left( {32a - 1} \right) \le \frac{9}{{16}}{\pi ^2}$

$ \Rightarrow 0 \le 32a - 1 \le 27$

$\frac{1}{{32}} \le a \le \frac{7}{8}$

Statement - $I$ is also true.

Given ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x > {\cos ^{ - 1}}x$ where $x \in \left( {0,1} \right)$

$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{2} - {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$

$ \Rightarrow 2{\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}x > \frac{\pi }{4}$

$ \Rightarrow x > \sin \frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow x > \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

MNaximum value of ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x$ is $\frac{\pi }{2}$

So, maximum value of $x$ is $1$. So,

  • A
    $A,C$
  • B
    $A,D$
  • $A,B$
  • D
    $A,B,C$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A,B$
c
$S_n(x)=\sum_{k=1}^n \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{1+k x(k x+x)}\right)$

$=\sum_{k=1}^n \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{(k x+x)-(k x)}{1+(k x+x)(k x)}\right)$

$S_n(x)=\tan ^{-1}(n x+x)-\tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{ nx }{1+(n+1) x^2}\right)$

$\text { (A) } S_{10}(x)=\tan ^{-1} \frac{10 x}{1+11 x^2}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\tan ^{-1}$$\left(\frac{1+11 x^2}{10 x}\right)(x>0)$

$(B)$ $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \cot \left(S_n(x)\right)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{n}+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right) x^2}{x}=x(x>0)$

$(C)$ $S_3(x)=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3 x}{1+4 x^2}=\frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow 4 x^2-3 x+1=0 \Rightarrow x \notin R$

$(D)$ $\tan \left( S _{ n }( x )\right)=\frac{ nx }{1+( n +1) x ^2} ; \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0$

We need to check the validity of $\frac{ nx }{1+( n +1) x ^2} \leq \frac{1}{2} \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0 ; n \in N$

$\Rightarrow 2 nx \leq( n +1) x ^2+1$

$\Rightarrow( n +1) x ^2-2 nx +1 \geq 0 \forall n \geq 1 ; x >0 ; n \in N$

Discriminant of $y=(n+1) x^2-2 n x+1$ is

$D=4 n^2-4(n+1) \text { and } n \in N$

$D >0$ for $n \geq 2 \Rightarrow \exists$ some $x >0$

for which $y <0$ as both roots of $y =0$ will be positive.

$y =( n +1) x ^2-2 nx +1, n \geq 2$

So, $y \geq 0 \forall n \geq 1 ; \forall x >0 ; n \in N$ is false.

Match the statements in Column $I$ with the statements in Column $II$ and indicate your answer by darkening the appropriate bubbles in the $4 \times 4$ matrix given in the $ORS$.

Column $I$ Column $II$
$(A)$ If $a=1$ and $b=0$, then ( $x, y$ ) $(p)$ lies on the circle $x^2+y^2=1$
$(B)$ If $a=1$ and $b=1$, then $(x, y)$ $(q)$ lies on $\left(x^2-1\right)\left(y^2-1\right)=0$
$(C)$ If $a=1$ and $b=2$, then ( $x, y)$ $(r)$ lies on $y=x$
$(D)$ If $a=2$ and $b=2$, then $(x, y)$ $(s)$ lies on $\left(4 x^2-1\right)\left(y^2-1\right)=0$

  • B
    $A \rightarrow q ; B \rightarrow s ; C \rightarrow s ; D \rightarrow q$
  • C
    $A \rightarrow q ; B \rightarrow r ; C \rightarrow p ; D \rightarrow r$
  • D
    $A \rightarrow r ; B \rightarrow s ; C \rightarrow q ; D \rightarrow p$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$A \rightarrow p ; B \rightarrow q ; C \rightarrow p ; D \rightarrow s$
a
$(A)$ If $\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=0$

then $\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y=0$

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x=-\cos ^{-1} y $

$ \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=1 .$

$(B) $If $a=1$ and $b=1$, then

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

$ \Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} y=\cos ^{-1} x y $

$ \Rightarrow x y+\sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=x y$

(taking sine on both the sides)

$(C)$ If $\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=2$

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y+\cos ^{-1}(2 x y)= \frac{\pi}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y=\sin ^{-1}(2 x y) $

$ \Rightarrow x y+\sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=2 x y $

$ \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=1 \text { (on squaring). }$

$(D)$ If $a=2$ and $b=2$ then

$ \sin ^{-1}(2 x)+\cos ^{-1}(y)+\cos ^{-1}(2 x y)=\frac{\pi}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow 2 x y+\sqrt{1-4 x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}=2 x y $

$ \Rightarrow\left(4 x^2-1\right)\left(y^2-1\right)=0 .$

  • $ - \frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$ - \frac{1}{2}$
a
(a) $\sin [{\cot ^{ - 1}}(x + 1)] = \sin \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }}} \right)$

$ = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }}$

$\cos ({\tan ^{ - 1}}x) = \cos \left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}} \right) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$

Thus, $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + 2x + 2} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$

$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + 2x + 2 = 1 + {x^2}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $x = - \frac{1}{2}$.

Answer
Correct option: B.
$1$
b
(b) We know that ${\sin ^{ - 1}}y + {\cos ^{ - 1}}y = \frac{\pi }{2},|y|\, \le \,1$
$\therefore $ According to question,
$x - \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^3}}}{4} - ... = {x^2} - \frac{{{x^4}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^6}}}{4}...$
==> $\frac{x}{{1 + \frac{x}{2}}} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{1 + \frac{{{x^2}}}{2}}},$
==> $\frac{x}{{2 + x}} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2 + {x^2}}}$

==> $2x + {x^3} = 2{x^2} + {x^3}$ ==> $x = {x^2}$
$\therefore \,x - {x^2} = 0\, \Rightarrow x(1 - x) = 0\, \Rightarrow x = 0$ and $x = 1$,
but $x \ne 0.$ So, $x = 1$.
