The value of $\tan \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{3}} \right)} \right)$ is
AnswerCorrect 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
${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + xyz = 1$
- ✓
${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} + 2xyz = 1$
AnswerCorrect 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.$

If ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 1}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{2x - 1}}{{2x + 1}} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{23}}{{36}},$ then $ x =$
- A
$\frac{3}{4},\frac{{ - 3}}{8}$
- B
$\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{8}$
- C
$\frac{4}{3},\frac{3}{8}$
- ✓
Answerd
(d) $\frac{{x - 1}}{{x + 1}} + \frac{{2x - 1}}{{2x + 1}} = \frac{{23}}{{36}}\left[ {1 - \frac{{(x - 1)(2x - 1)}}{{(x + 1)(2x + 1)}}} \right]$
==> $24{x^2} - 23x - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow (3x - 4)(8x + 3) = 0$.

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
$\frac{1}{3}abc$
AnswerCorrect 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
$\frac{1}{3}$
- ✓
$\frac{1}{2}$
AnswerCorrect 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 $
==> $1 - q = q$ ==> $q = \frac{1}{2}.$

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 $(c).$

- ✓
$\frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
- B
$\frac{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
- C
$\frac{2}{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}$
- D
AnswerCorrect 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
==> $\tan \theta = \frac{{3 - \sqrt 5 }}{2} \times \frac{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}{{3 + \sqrt 5 }} = \frac{2}{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}$.

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

Trick : Put $x = \frac{\pi }{4}$, so that the expression becomes
${\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {\sqrt 2 - 1} + \sqrt {\sqrt 2 + 1} }}{{\sqrt {\sqrt 2 - 1} - \sqrt {\sqrt 2 + 1} }}} \right]$

Let $\frac{1}{2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{a}{b} = \theta $
$\Rightarrow \cos 2\theta = \frac{a}{b}$
Thus, $\tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} + \theta } \right] + \tan \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} - \theta } \right]$
$= \frac{{1 + \tan \theta }}{{1 - \tan \theta }} + \frac{{1 - \tan \theta }}{{1 + \tan \theta }} = \frac{{{{(1 + \tan \theta )}^2} + {{(1 - \tan \theta )}^2}}}{{(1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta )}}$
$= \frac{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta + 2\tan \theta + 1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta - 2\tan \theta }}{{(1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta )}}$
$= \frac{{2(1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta )}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = 2\sec 2\theta = \frac{2}{{\cos 2\theta }}$
$= \frac{2}{{a/b}} = \frac{{2b}}{a}$.

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{\alpha}{17}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{77}{36}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{77}{36}-\frac{3}{4}}{1+\frac{77}{36} \cdot \frac{3}{4}}\right)$
$\sin ^{-1} \frac{\alpha}{17}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{15}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{8}{17}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{17}=\frac{8}{17} \Rightarrow \alpha=8$
$\therefore \sin ^{-1}(\sin 8)+\cos ^{-1}(\cos 8)$
$=3 \pi-8+8-2 \pi$
$=\pi$

Answerb
Case $I: x > 0$
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^2}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}$
$x=2-\sqrt{3}$
Case $II:$ $x < 0$
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^2}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^2}+\pi=\frac{\pi}{3}$
$x=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \alpha=2$

- A
$\frac{\pi}{48}$
- B
$\frac{\pi}{16}$
- C
$\frac{\pi}{8}$
- ✓
$\frac{\pi}{12}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\frac{\pi}{12}$
d
$\sin ^{-1} \sin \theta-\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} \sin \theta\right) > 0$
$\Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} \sin \theta > \frac{\pi}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta > \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\text { So, } \theta \in\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)$
$\theta \in\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=( a , b )$
$b - a =\frac{\pi}{2}=\alpha-\beta$
$\Rightarrow \beta=\alpha-\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \alpha x^2+\beta x+\sin ^{-1}\left[(x-3)^2+1\right]+\cos ^{-1}\left[(x-3)^2+1\right]=0$
$x =3,9 \alpha+3 \beta+\frac{\pi}{2}+0=0$
$\Rightarrow 9 \alpha+3\left(\alpha-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\frac{\pi}{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow 12 \alpha-\pi=0$
$\alpha=\frac{\pi}{12}$

Let $S$ be the set of all solutions of the equation $\cos ^{-1}(2 x)-2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)=\pi, \quad x \in\left[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$.Then $\sum_{x \in S} 2 \sin ^{-1}\left(x^2-1\right)$ is equal to
AnswerCorrect 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 $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow x^2-1=-\sqrt{3} / 2$
$=2 \sin ^{-1}\left(x^2-1\right)=2 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{-2 \pi}{3}$

$2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1- x }{1+ x }\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1- x ^2}{1+ x ^2}\right)$
$\tan ^{-1} x =\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \therefore x =\tan \theta$
$2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\right)\right)=\cos ^{-1}(\cos 2 \theta)$
$2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\right)=2 \theta \therefore 4 \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{8}$
$x =\tan \frac{\pi}{8} \therefore x =\sqrt{2}-1 \simeq 0.414$

then $\sum_{x \in R }\left(\sin \left(\left(x^2+x+5\right) \frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \left(\left(x^2+x+5\right) \pi\right)\right)$ is equal to $........$.
Answerc
$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{(x+1)}{\sqrt{(x+1)^2+1}}\right)-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\because \frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2+1}} \in(-1,1)$
$\quad \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{(x+1)}{\sqrt{(x+1)^2+1}}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)+\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\frac{(x+1)}{\sqrt{(x+1)^2+1}}=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \cos \left(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)\right)+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{ x ^2+1}}+\frac{ x }{\sqrt{ x ^2+1}}\right)$
$\frac{( x +1)}{\sqrt{( x +1)^2+1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{1+ x }{\sqrt{ x ^2+1}}\right)$
After solving this equation, we get
$x=-1 \text { or } x=0$
$S=\{-1,0\}$
$\sum_{x \in R }\left(\sin \left(\left(x^2+ x +5\right) \frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \left(\left(x^2+ x +5\right) \pi\right)\right)$

$\cos ^{-1} x - 2 \sin ^{-1} x=\cos ^{-1} 2 x$
$\cos ^{-1} x-2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\cos ^{-1} x\right)=\cos ^{-1} 2 x$
$\cos ^{-1} x-\pi+2 \cos ^{-1} x=\cos ^{-1} 2 x$
$3 \cos ^{-1} x=\pi+\cos ^{-1} 2 x$
$\cos \left(3 \cos ^{-1} x\right)=\cos \left(\pi+\cos ^{-1} 2 x\right)$
$4 x^{3}-3 x=-2 x$
$4 x^{3}=x \Rightarrow x=0, \pm \frac{1}{2}$
All satisfy the original equation
$\text { sum }=-\frac{1}{2} \text { to }+\frac{1}{2}=0$

For $k \in R$, let the solutions of the equation $\cos \left(\sin ^{-1}\left(x \cot \left(\tan ^{-1}\left(\cos \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)\right)\right)\right)\right)=k, 0\,<\,|x|<\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ be $\alpha$ and $\beta$, where the inverse trigonometric functions take only principal values. If the solutions of the equation $x ^{2}- bx -5=0$ are $\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}$ and $\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$, then $\frac{b}{k^{2}}$ is equal to$......$
Answerc
$\cos \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)=\cos \left(\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)=\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$
$\cot \left(\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)=\cot ^{-1} \cot ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\left.\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}}\right.$
$\cos \left(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\right)\right)=\frac{\sqrt{1-2 x^{2}}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$
$\frac{\sqrt{1-2 x^{2}}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}=k$
$1-2 x^{2}=k^{2}\left(1-x^{2}\right)$
$\left(k^{2}-2\right) x^{2}=k^{2}-1$
$\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}} \Rightarrow \alpha^{2}=\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}$
$\beta=\sqrt{\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}} \Rightarrow \beta^{2}=\frac{k^{2}-1}{k^{2}-2}$
$\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}=2\left(\frac{k^{2}-2}{k^{2}-1}\right) \& \frac{\alpha}{\beta}=-1$
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 $(1)$
$b=\frac{2\left(k^{2}-2\right)}{k^{2}-1}-1=5-1=4$
$\frac{b}{k^{2}}=\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}=12$
