Ans b

Explanation

$sec\left ( tan^{-1}\frac{y}{3} \right )=\sqrt{sec^{2}\left ( tan^{-1}\frac{y}{3} \right )}$

$=\sqrt{1+tan^{2}\left ( tan^{-1}\frac{y}{3} \right )}$

$=\sqrt{1+\frac{y^{2}}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{9+y^{2}}}{3}$

b) 3

c) 2

d) 5

Ans: b

Explanation

$sin^{-1}x+sin^{-1}y+sin^{-1}z = \frac{3\pi }{2}$

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

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

$\Rightarrow sin^{-1}z=\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow z=1$

$x+y^{2}+z^{3}=1+1+1=3$

a) π

b) $-\frac{\pi }{2}$

c) – π

d) $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Answer: b

Explanation

$tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}-cot^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$

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

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

$=\frac{\pi }{2}-\pi =-\frac{\pi }{2}$

Q27) If sec^-1x
+ sec^-1y = $\frac{\pi }{2}$ , then the value of cosec^-1x + cosec^-1y is

a) π

b) π/2

c) 3π/2

d) -π

Answer b

Explanation

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

⇒ $\frac{\pi }{2}$ – cosec^-1x + $\frac{\pi }{2}$ – cosec^-1y = $\frac{\pi }{2}$

⇒ $\frac{\pi }{2}$ – cosec^-1x – cosec^-1y = 0

⇒ cosec^-1x + cosec^-1y = $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Q28) $cot\left ( \frac{\pi }{4}-2cot^{-1}3 \right )=$

a) 5

b) 9

c) 12

d) 7

Answer 7

Explanation

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

$tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{1}{9}} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{2/3}{8/9} \right )$

$=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{2\times 9}{3\times 8} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{4} \right )$

Now given equations becomes

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

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

$=\frac{cot\left ( \frac{\pi }{4} \right )cot^{-1}\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )+1}{cot\left ( \frac{\pi }{4} \right )cot^{-1}\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )-1}$

$=\frac{\frac{4}{3}+1}{\frac{4}{3}-1}=\frac{4+3}{4-3}=7$

Q29) If 3sin^-1x
+ cos^-1x = π, then x is equal to

a) 0

b) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

c) -1

d) 1/2

Answer b

Explanation

3sin^-1x + cos^-1x = π

2sin^-1x + (sin^-1x + cos^-1x) = π

2sin^-1x + π / 2 = π

2sin^-1x = π – π / 2 = π / 2

sin^-1x = π / 4

x = sin(π / 4) = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Q30) If $sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{2\alpha }{1+\alpha ^{2}} \right )+cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{1-\beta ^{2}}{1+\beta ^{2}} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{2x}{1-x^{2}} \right )$ , then the value of x is

a) $x=\frac{\alpha +\beta }{1-\alpha \beta }$

b) $x=\frac{\alpha -\beta }{1-\alpha \beta }$

c) $x=\frac{\alpha -\beta }{1+\alpha \beta }$

d) None of these

Ans: a

Explanation

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

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

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

Using these values in the given equation we get

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

$tan^{-1}\alpha +tan^{-1}\beta =tan^{-1}x$

$\Rightarrow tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{\alpha +\beta }{1-\alpha \beta } \right )=tan^{-1}x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{\alpha +\beta }{1-\alpha \beta }$
