If $\tan ^{-1} \frac{x-1}{x-2}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{x+1}{x+2}=\frac{\pi}{4},$ then find the value of $\mathrm{x}$
  • A
    $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\pm \frac{1}{{2}}$
  • D
    $\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
b
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{x-1}{x-2}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{x+1}{x+2}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\frac{x-1}{x-2}+\frac{x+1}{x+2}}{1-\left(\frac{x-1}{x+2}\right)\left(\frac{x+1}{x+2}\right)}\right]=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{(x-1)(x+2)+(x+1)(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-2)-(x-1)(x+1)}\right]=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{x^{2}+x-2+x^{2}-x-2}{x^{2}-4-x^{2}+1}\right]=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{2 x^{2}-4}{-3}\right]=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \tan \left[\tan ^{-1} \frac{4-2 x^{2}}{3}\right]=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{4-2 x^{2}}{3}=1$

$\Rightarrow 4-2 x^{2}=3$

$\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}=4-3=1$

$\Rightarrow x=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

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

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} 1-\tan ^{-1} x=\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1} x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{3}{2} \tan ^{-1} x$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow x=\tan \frac{\pi}{6}$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Solve $\sin ^{-1}(1-x)-2 \sin ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2},$ then $x$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $0, \frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $1, \frac{1}{2}$
  • $0$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0$
d
$\sin ^{-1}(1-x)-2 \sin ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

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

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

Let $\sin ^{-1} x=\theta \Rightarrow \sin \theta=x \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$

$\therefore \theta=\cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{1-x^{2}})$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} x=\cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{1-x^{2}})$

Therefore, from equation $( 1 )$, we have

$-2 \cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=\cos ^{-1}(1-x)$

Let, $x=\sin y .$ Then, we have:

$-2 \cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} y})=\cos ^{-1}(1-\sin y)$

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

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

$\Rightarrow 1-\sin y=\cos (-2 y)=\cos 2 y$

$\Rightarrow 1-\sin y=1-2 \sin ^{2} y$

$\Rightarrow 2 \sin ^{2} y-\sin y=0$

$\Rightarrow \sin y(2 \sin y-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow \sin y=0$ or $\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore x=0$ OR $x=\frac{1}{2}$

When $x=\frac{1}{2},$ it can be observed that

L.H.S. $=\sin ^{-1}\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)-\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}$

$=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-2 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}$

$=-\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{\pi}{6} \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \neq R . H . S$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2}$ is not a solution of the given equation. Thus, $x=0$

Answer
Correct option: D.
$2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}\tan \frac{x}{2}} \right)$
d
(d) We take $x = \frac{\pi }{2}$ then $\cos x = 0$

${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{3 + 5\cos x}}{{5 + 3\cos x}}} \right) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)$

Put $x = \frac{\pi }{2}$ in $2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}\tan \frac{x}{2}} \right)$

we get $2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}\tan \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$

$ = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2.\frac{1}{2}}}{{1 - \frac{1}{4}}}} \right)$$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)$.

If ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\sin ^{ - 1}}y + {\sin ^{ - 1}}z = \frac{{3\pi }}{2}$, then the value of ${x^{100}} + {y^{100}} + {z^{100}} - \frac{9}{{{x^{101}} + {y^{101}} + {z^{101}}}}$ is equal to
  • $0$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $-3$
  • D
    $9$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a) As we know ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x$ cannot be greater than $\frac{\pi }{2}$,
So ${\sin ^{ - 1}}x = {\sin ^{ - 1}}y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}z = \frac{\pi }{2}$
Therefore $x = y = z = 1$
Putting these values in the expression, we get $1 + 1 + 1 - \frac{9}{{1 + 1 + 1}} = 0$.

The greatest and the least value of ${({\sin ^{ - 1}}x)^3} + {({\cos ^{ - 1}}x)^3}$ are
  • A
    $ - \frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{\pi }{2}$
  • B
    $ - \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8},\,\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8}$
  • $\frac{{7{\pi ^3}}}{8},\,\,\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{{32}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{7{\pi ^3}}}{8},\,\,\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{{32}}$
c
(c) We have ${({\sin ^{ - 1}}x)^3} + {({\cos ^{ - 1}}x)^3}$

$ = {({\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}x)^3}$$ - 3{\sin ^{ - 1}}x{\cos ^{ - 1}}x({\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}x)$

$= \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8} - 3({\sin ^{ - 1}}x{\cos ^{ - 1}}x)\frac{\pi }{2}$

$= \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8} - \frac{{3\pi }}{2}{\sin ^{ - 1}}x\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - {{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right)$

$=  \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8} - \frac{{3{\pi ^2}}}{4}{\sin ^{ - 1}}x + \frac{{3\pi }}{2}{({\sin ^{ - 1}}x)^2}$

$=\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8} + \frac{{3\pi }}{2}\left[ {{{({{\sin }^{ - 1}}x)}^2} - \frac{\pi }{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x} \right]$

$ = \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{8} + \frac{{3\pi }}{2}\left[ {{{\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)}^2}} \right] - \frac{{3{\pi ^3}}}{{32}}$

$ = \frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{{32}} + \frac{{3\pi }}{2}{\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2}$

$\therefore$ The least value is $\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{{32}}$

and since ${\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2} \le {\left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)^2}$

$\therefore$ The greatest value is $\frac{{{\pi ^3}}}{{32}} + \frac{{9{\pi ^2}}}{{16}} \times \frac{{3\pi }}{2} = \frac{{7{\pi ^3}}}{8}$.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{{a - b}}{{1 + ab}}$
d
(d) Put $a = \tan \theta ,b = \tan \varphi $and $x = \tan \psi ,$ then reduced form is ${\sin ^{ - 1}}(\sin 2\theta ) - {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos 2\phi ) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(\tan 2\psi )$
==> $2\theta - 2\phi = 2\psi \Rightarrow \theta - \phi = \psi $
Taking ‘tan’ both sides, we get $\tan (\theta - \phi ) = \tan \psi $
==> $\frac{{\tan \theta - \tan \phi }}{{1 + \tan \theta \tan \phi }} = \tan \psi $
Substituting these values, we get $\frac{{a - b}}{{1 + ab}} = x$

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac {\pi }{6}$
d
Consider ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sin \left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}} } \right)} \right]$

Let ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}}  = \theta  \Rightarrow \cos \theta  = \sqrt {\frac{2}{3}} $

$ \Rightarrow \sin \theta  = \sqrt {1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta }  = \sqrt {1 - \frac{2}{3}}  = \sqrt {\frac{1}{3}} $

$\therefore {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sin \left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}} } \right)} \right] = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sin \theta } \right]$

      $ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sqrt {\frac{1}{3}} } \right] = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=\sin \left(\cos ^{-1} \frac{4}{5}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$

If ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{y}{2} = \alpha $, then $4{x^2} - 4xy\cos \alpha + {y^2}$ is equal to
  • $4{\sin ^2}\alpha $
  • B
    $ - 4{\sin ^2}\alpha $
  • C
    $2\sin 2\alpha $
  • D
    $4$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4{\sin ^2}\alpha $
a
(a) If ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{x}{a} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{y}{b} = \theta $

Then $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}}\cos \theta + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = {\sin ^2}\theta $

Here ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{x}{1} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{y}{2} = \alpha ;$

$\therefore \frac{{{x^2}}}{1} - \frac{{2xy}}{2}\cos \alpha + \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = {\sin ^2}\alpha $

${x^2} - xy\cos \alpha + \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = {\sin ^2}\alpha $

$4{x^2} - 4xy\cos \alpha + {y^2} = 4{\sin ^2}\alpha $.

    ${\cot ^2}\left( {\frac{\alpha }{2}} \right)$
  • C
    $\tan \alpha $
  • D
    $\cot \left( {\frac{\alpha }{2}} \right)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
${\tan ^2}\left( {\frac{\alpha }{2}} \right)$
a
(a) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {\cos \alpha } }}} \right] - {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sqrt {\cos \alpha } } \right] = x$

==>${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\frac{1}{{\sqrt {\cos \alpha } }} - \sqrt {\cos \alpha } }}{{1 + \frac{{\sqrt {\cos \alpha } }}{{\sqrt {\cos \alpha } }}}}} \right] = x$

==> $\tan x = \frac{{1 - \cos \alpha }}{{2\sqrt {\cos \alpha } }}$

$\therefore \sin x = \frac{{1 - \cos \alpha }}{{1 + \cos \alpha }} = \frac{{2{{\sin }^2}\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{{2{{\cos }^2}\frac{\alpha }{2}}} = {\tan ^2}\left( {\frac{\alpha }{2}} \right)$.

  • A
    $\pi$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • $\frac{\pi}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
d
$4 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=2\left(2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}\right)-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{1-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{2}}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239} \quad\left(\because 2 \tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right)$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{2 / 5}{24 / 25}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{1-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{2}}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239} \quad\left(\because 2 \tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right)$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{2 / 5}{24 / 25}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 \cdot \frac{5}{12}}{1-\left(\frac{5}{12}\right)^{2}}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239} \quad\left(\because 2 \tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right)$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{144 \times 5}{119 \times 6}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{120}{119}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{239}$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{120}{119}-\frac{1}{239}}{1+\frac{120}{119} \cdot \frac{1}{239}} \quad\left(\because \tan ^{-1} x-\tan ^{-1} y=\tan ^{-1} \frac{x-y}{1+x y}\right)$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{120 \times 239-119}{119 \times 239+120}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{28680-119}{28441+120}$

$=\tan ^{-1} \frac{28561}{28561}=\tan ^{-1} 1=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Let $\cos ^{-1}(x) + \cos ^{-1} (2x) + \cos ^{-1}(3x) = \pi.$ If $x$ satisfies the cubic  $ax^3 + bx^2 + cx -1 = 0,$ then $(a + b + c)$ has the value equal to -
  • A
    $24$
  • B
    $25$
  • $26$
  • D
    $27$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$26$
c
$\cos ^{-1}(x)+\cos ^{-1}(2 x)+\cos ^{-1}(3 x)=\pi$

$\Rightarrow \cos ^{-1}(2 x)+\cos ^{-1}(3 x)=\pi-\cos ^{-1}(x)$

$\Rightarrow \cos ^{-1}(2 x \cdot 3 x-\sqrt{1-4 x^{2}} \sqrt{1-9 x^{2}})=\cos ^{-1}(-x)$

$\Rightarrow \quad 6 x^{2}-\sqrt{1-4 x^{2}} \sqrt{1-9 x^{2}}=-x$

$\Rightarrow \quad\left(6 x^{2}+x\right)=\sqrt{1-4 x^{2}} \sqrt{1-9 x^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 36 x^{4}+x^{2}+12 x^{3}=\left(1-4 x^{2}\right)\left(1-9 x^{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad 36 x^{4}+x^{2}+12 x^{3}=1-13 x^{2}+36 x^{4}$

$\Rightarrow 12 \mathrm{x}^{3}+14 \mathrm{x}^{2}-1=0$

$\therefore \quad a=12, b=14, c=0$
