The value of  $\tan \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}} \right)} \right)$ is
  • A
    $\frac{3 + \sqrt 5}{2}$
  • B
    $3 + \sqrt 5$
  • $\frac{1}{2} (3 - \sqrt 5)$
  • D
    None
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{2} (3 - \sqrt 5)$
c
$\tan \left[\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\right)\right]$

Put $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\right)=\alpha$

$\quad \cos \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \Rightarrow 0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \alpha}{1+\cos \alpha}}=\sqrt{\frac{1-\sqrt{5} / 3}{1+\sqrt{5} / 3}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{3+\sqrt{5}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(3-\sqrt{5})^{2}}{9-5}}$

$=\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}$

If ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}y + {\cos ^{ - 1}}z = \pi $, then
  • A
    ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + xyz = 0$
  • B
    ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 0$
  • C
    ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + xyz = 1$
  • ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 1$
d
(d) Given that ${\cos ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}y + {\cos ^{ - 1}}z = \pi $

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\cos ^{ - 1}}(x) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}(y) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}(z) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}( - 1)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\cos ^{ - 1}}(x) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}(y) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}( - 1) - {\cos ^{ - 1}}(z)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,{\cos ^{ - 1}}(xy - \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} \sqrt {1 - {y^2})} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\,\left\{ {( - 1)\,\,(z)} \right\}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,xy - \sqrt {(1 - {x^2})\,\,(1 - {y^2})} = - z$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,(xy + z) = \sqrt {(1 - {x^2})\,\,(1 - {y^2})} $

Squaring both sides we get ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 1$.

Trick : Put $x = y = z = \frac{1}{2},$ so that

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

Obviously $ (d)$  holds for these values of  $ x, y, z.$

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4},\frac{{ - 3}}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3},\frac{3}{8}$
  • None of these

d
(d) $\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 1}} + \frac{{2x - 1}}{{2x + 1}} = \frac{{23}}{{36}}\left[ {1 - \frac{{(x - 1)(2x - 1)}}{{(x + 1)(2x + 1)}}} \right]$

==> $24{x^2} - 23x - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow (3x - 4)(8x + 3) = 0$.

MCQ 541 Mark
If ${\sin ^{ - 1}}a + {\sin ^{ - 1}}b + {\sin ^{ - 1}}c = \pi ,$ then the value of $a\sqrt {(1 - {a^2})} + b\sqrt {(1 - {b^2})} + c\sqrt {(1 - {c^2})} $ will be
  • $2abc$
  • B
    $abc$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}abc$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}abc$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2abc$
a
(a) Let    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}a = A,$

${\sin ^{ - 1}}b = B,$

${\sin ^{ - 1}}c = C$

$\therefore \sin A = a,\sin B = b,\sin C = c$

and $A + B + C = \pi ,$then

$\sin 2A + \sin 2B + \sin 2C$

$ = 4\sin A\,\,\sin B\,\,\sin C$ …..$(i)$

==> $\sin A\,\cos A\, + \sin B\,\cos B + \sin \,C\,\cos C$

$= 2\sin A\sin B\sin C$

==> $\sin A\sqrt {(1 - {{\sin }^2}A)} + \sin B\sqrt {(1 - {{\sin }^2}B)} + \sin C\sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}C} $

$ = 2\sin A\sin B\sin C.$ ……$(ii)$

==> $a\sqrt {(1 - {a^2})} + b\sqrt {(1 - {b^2})} + c\sqrt {{{(1 - c)}^2}} = 2abc$,

while ${\sin ^{ - 1}}a + {\sin ^{ - 1}}b + {\sin ^{ - 1}}c = \pi $.

If ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt p + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - p} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - q} = \frac{{3\pi }}{4},$ then the value of  $q $ is
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{2}$
d
(d) Let $\alpha = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt p ;$ $\beta = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - p} $

and $\gamma = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - q} \,\,{\rm{or}}\cos \alpha = \sqrt p ;\,\,\cos \beta = \sqrt {1 - p} $

and $\cos \gamma = \sqrt {1 - q.} $

Therefore $\sin \alpha = \sqrt {1 - p} ,$ $\sin \beta = \sqrt p $ and $\sin \gamma = \sqrt q $.

The given equation may be written as $\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$ 

or $\alpha + \beta = \frac{{3\pi }}{4} - \gamma $ or $\cos (\alpha + \beta ) = \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - \gamma } \right)$

==> $\cos \alpha \,\,\,\cos \beta - \sin \alpha \sin \beta = $

$\cos \left\{ {\pi - \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + \gamma } \right)} \right\} = - \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + \gamma } \right)$

==> $\sqrt {p\,} \sqrt {1 - p} - \sqrt {1 - p} \sqrt p $

$ = - \left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sqrt {1 - q} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}.\sqrt q } \right)$

==> $0 = \sqrt {1 - q} - \sqrt q $

==> $1 - q = q$ ==> $q = \frac{1}{2}.$

$\tan \left[ {\frac{1}{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2a}}{{1 + {a^2}}}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - {a^2}}}{{1 + {a^2}}}} \right)} \right] = $
  • A
    $\frac{{2a}}{{1 + {a^2}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{1 - {a^2}}}{{1 + {a^2}}}$
  • $\frac{{2a}}{{1 - {a^2}}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{2a}}{{1 - {a^2}}}$
c
(c) $\tan \left[ {\frac{1}{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2a}}{{1 + {a^2}}}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 - {a^2}}}{{1 + {a^2}}}} \right)} \right]$

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

(Let $a = \tan \theta $)

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

$ = \tan (2\theta ) = \tan 2\theta = \frac{{2\tan \theta }}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = \frac{{2a}}{{1 - {a^2}}}$

Trick : Put $a = 0$, then tan $(0+0)=0;$ which is given by $(a)$ and $(c)$.

Again put $a = 1$, then $\tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = \infty $, which is given by $(c).$

$\tan \left[ {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}} \right)} \right] = $
  • $\frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
a
(a) $\tan \left[ {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}} \right)} \right]$

Let $\frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3} = \theta $

$\Rightarrow \cos 2\theta = \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}$

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

$\Rightarrow \frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3} = \frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}$

==>$\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 5 {\tan ^2}\theta = 3 - 3{\tan ^2}\theta $

==> $(\sqrt 5 + 3){\tan ^2}\theta = 3 - \sqrt 5 $

$\Rightarrow {\tan ^2}\theta = \frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}$

==> ${\tan ^2}\theta = \frac{{{{(3 - \sqrt 5 )}^2}}}{4} $

$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}$

On rationalising

==> $\tan \theta = \frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2} \times \frac{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}{{3 + \sqrt 5 }} = \frac{2}{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}$.

d
(d) ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - \sin x} + \sqrt {1 + \sin x} }}{{\sqrt {1 - \sin x} - \sqrt {1 + \sin x} }}} \right]$

$ = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{(\sqrt {1 - \sin x} + \sqrt {1 + \sin x} )}}{{(\sqrt {1 - \sin x} - \sqrt {1 + \sin x} )}}.\frac{{(\sqrt {1 - \sin x} + \sqrt {1 + \sin x} )}}{{(\sqrt {1 - \sin x} + \sqrt {1 + \sin x} )}}} \right]$

$= {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{(1 - \sin x) + (1 + \sin x) + 2\sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}x} }}{{(1 - \sin x) - (1 + \sin x)}}} \right]$

$= {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{2(1 + \cos x)}}{{ - 2\sin x}}} \right] = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ { - \frac{{2{{\cos }^2}(x/2)}}{{2\sin (x/2)\cos (x/2)}}} \right]$

$= {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \cot \frac{x}{2}} \right) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\cot \left( {\pi - \frac{x}{2}} \right)} \right] = \pi - \frac{x}{2}$.

Trick : Put $x = \frac{\pi }{4}$, so that the expression becomes

${\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {\sqrt 2 - 1} + \sqrt {\sqrt 2 + 1} }}{{\sqrt {\sqrt 2 - 1} - \sqrt {\sqrt 2 + 1} }}} \right]$

$= {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt 2 - 1 + \sqrt 2 + 1 + 2\sqrt {2 - 1} }}{{\sqrt 2 - 1 - \sqrt 2 - 1}}} \right]$

$= {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{2\sqrt 2 + 2}}{{ - 2}}} \right] = {\cot ^{ - 1}}( - 1 - \sqrt 2 ) = 157.5^\circ $.

$\tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b}} \right] + \tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b}} \right] = $
  • A
    $\frac{{2a}}{b}$
  • $\frac{{2b}}{a}$
  • C
    $\frac{a}{b}$
  • D
    $\frac{b}{a}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{{2b}}{a}$
b
(b) $\tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b}} \right] + \tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b}} \right]$

Let $\frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b} = \theta $

$\Rightarrow \cos 2\theta = \frac{a}{b}$

Thus, $\tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} + \theta } \right] + \tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} - \theta } \right]$

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

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

$=  \frac{{2(1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta )}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = 2\sec 2\theta = \frac{2}{{\cos 2\theta }}$

$=  \frac{2}{{a/b}} = \frac{{2b}}{a}$.

Let $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}}$ ( $\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n}$ are co-prime natural numbers) be a solution of the equation $\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=\frac{1}{9}$ and let $\alpha, \beta(\alpha>\beta)$ be the roots of the equation $\mathrm{mx}^2-\mathrm{nx}-$ $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}=0$. Then the point $(\alpha, \beta)$ lies on the line
  • A
     $3 x+2 y=2$
  • B
     $5 x-8 y=-9$
  • C
    $3 x-2 y=-2$
  •  $5 x+8 y=9$
Answer
Correct option: D.
 $5 x+8 y=9$
d
Assume $\sin ^{-1} x=\theta$

$ \cos (2 \theta)=\frac{1}{9} $

$ \sin \theta= \pm \frac{2}{3}$

as $\mathrm{m}$ and $\mathrm{n}$ are co-prime natural numbers,

$\mathrm{x}=\frac{2}{3}$

i.e. $m=2, n=3$

So, the quadratic equation becomes $2 x^2-3 x+1=$ 0 whose roots are $\alpha=1, \beta=\frac{1}{2}$ $\left(1, \frac{1}{2}\right)$ lies on $5 x+8 y=9$

$\Rightarrow \tan (\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B})=\frac{(1+x)\left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\right)}{\left(x^2+x\right)(\sqrt{x})}$

$\frac{(1+x)\left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\right)}{\left(x^2+x\right)(\sqrt{x})}$

  • $\pi$
  • B
    $16$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $16-5\,\pi$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\pi$
a
$\cos ^{-1} \frac{4}{5}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{\alpha}{17}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{77}{36}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{77}{36}-\frac{3}{4}}{1+\frac{77}{36} \cdot \frac{3}{4}}\right)$

$\sin ^{-1} \frac{\alpha}{17}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{15}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{8}{17}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{17}=\frac{8}{17} \Rightarrow \alpha=8$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1}(\sin 8)+\cos ^{-1}(\cos 8)$

d
$\sin ^{-1} \sin \theta-\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} \sin \theta\right) > 0$

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

$\Rightarrow \sin \theta > \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\text { So, } \theta \in\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)$

$\theta \in\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=( a , b )$

$b - a =\frac{\pi}{2}=\alpha-\beta$

$\Rightarrow \beta=\alpha-\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha x^2+\beta x+\sin ^{-1}\left[(x-3)^2+1\right]+\cos ^{-1}\left[(x-3)^2+1\right]=0$

$x =3,9 \alpha+3 \beta+\frac{\pi}{2}+0=0$

  • C

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{-2 \pi}{3}$
b
$\cos ^{-1}(2 x)-2 \cos ^{-1} \sqrt{1-x^2}=\pi$

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

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

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

Taking $\cos$ both sides we get

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

$1-2 x^2=-2 x$

$2 x^2-2 x-1=0$

On solving, $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

As $x=[-1 / 2,1 / 2], x=\frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2}=$ rejected

So $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow x^2-1=-\sqrt{3} / 2$

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

$0 < x < 1$

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

$\tan ^{-1} x =\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \therefore x =\tan \theta$

$2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\right)\right)=\cos ^{-1}(\cos 2 \theta)$

$2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\right)=2 \theta \therefore 4 \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{8}$

  • A
    $131$
  • B
    $140$
  • C
    $150$
  • $130$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$130$
d
 

$\because \quad x=\sin \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \alpha\right)=\frac{2 \alpha}{1+\alpha^{2}}$

and $y=\sin \left(\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1} \frac{4}{3}\right)=\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

Now, $y^{2}=1-x$

$\frac{1}{5}=1-\frac{2 \alpha}{1+\alpha^{2}}$

$1+\alpha^{2}=5+5 \alpha^{2}-10 \alpha$

$2 \alpha^{2}-5 \alpha+2=0$

$\therefore \quad \alpha=2, \frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \quad \sum_{\alpha \in S} 16 \alpha^{3}=16 \times 2^{3}+16 \times \frac{1}{2^{3}}$

If $0 < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{\alpha}=\frac{\cos ^{-1} x}{\beta}$, then a value of $\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi \alpha}{\alpha+\beta}\right)$ is$......$
  • A
    $4 \sqrt{\left(1-x^{2}\right)}\left(1-2 x^{2}\right)$
  • $4 x \sqrt{\left(1-x^{2}\right)}\left(1-2 x^{2}\right)$
  • C
    $2 x \sqrt{\left(1-x^{2}\right)}\left(1-4 x^{2}\right)$
  • D
    $4 \sqrt{\left(1-x^{2}\right)}\left(1-4 x^{2}\right)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4 x \sqrt{\left(1-x^{2}\right)}\left(1-2 x^{2}\right)$
b
$\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{\alpha}=\frac{\cos ^{-1} x}{\beta}= k$

$\sin ^{-1} x=k \alpha$

$\cos ^{-1} x=k \beta$

$k=\frac{\pi}{2(\alpha+\beta)}$

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

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

$=4 x \sqrt{1-x^{2}}\left(1-2 x^{2}\right)$

  • A
    $\left(-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}, \frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$
  • $\left(1, \frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\left[1, \frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\left(1, \frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$
c
$f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left[2 x^{2}-3\right]+\log _{2}\left(\log _{\frac{1}{2}}\left(x^{2}-5 x+5\right)\right)$

$P_{1}:-1 \leq\left[2 x^{2}-3\right]<1$

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

$\Rightarrow 2<2 x ^{2}<5$

$\Rightarrow 1< x ^{2}<\frac{5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow P _{1}: x \in\left(-\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}},-1\right) \cup\left(1, \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\right)$

$P_{2}: x^{2}-5 x+5>0$

$\Rightarrow\left( x -\left(\frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)\right)\left( x -\left(\frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)\right)>0$

$P_{3}: \log _{\frac{1}{2}}\left(x^{2}-5 x+5\right)>0$

$x ^{2}-5 x -5<1$

$x ^{2}-5 x +4<0$

$P _{3}: x \in(1,4)$

So, $P _{1} \cap P _{2} \cap P _{3}=\left(1, \frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$

  • D
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
a
$\cos ^{-1} x - 2 \sin ^{-1} x=\cos ^{-1} 2 x$

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

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

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

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

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

$4 x^{3}=x \Rightarrow x=0, \pm \frac{1}{2}$

All satisfy the original equation

Answer
Correct option: C.
$12$
c
$\cos \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)=\cos \left(\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)=\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$

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

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

$\frac{\sqrt{1-2 x^{2}}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}=k$

$1-2 x^{2}=k^{2}\left(1-x^{2}\right)$

$\left(k^{2}-2\right) x^{2}=k^{2}-1$

$\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}} \Rightarrow \alpha^{2}=\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}$

$\beta=\sqrt{\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}} \Rightarrow \beta^{2}=\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}$

$\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}=2\left(\frac{k^{2}-2}{k^{2}-1}\right) \& \frac{\alpha}{\beta}=-1$

Sum of roots $=\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}+\frac{\alpha}{\beta}=b$

$\frac{2\left(k^{2}-2\right)}{k^{2}-1}-1=b \ldots \ldots(1)$

Product of roots $=\left(\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}\right) \frac{\alpha}{\beta}=-5$

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

$2 k^{2}-4=5 k^{2}-5$

$3 k^{2}=1 \Rightarrow k^{2}=\frac{1}{3} \ldots$ Put in $(1)$

$b=\frac{2\left(k^{2}-2\right)}{k^{2}-1}-1=5-1=4$

$\frac{b}{k^{2}}=\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}=12$
