Question (11)

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

Solution

\[{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( 1 \right) + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{1}{2}} \right) + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\] \[ = \frac{\pi }{4} + \frac{\pi }{2} = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\]

Question (12)

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

Solution

\[{\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right) + 2{\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\] \[ = \frac{\pi }{3} + 2\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{\pi }{3} + \frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{{2\pi }}{3}\]

Question (13)

\[If\;\;{\sin ^{ - 1}}x = y,then\;\] (a) \[0 \le y \le \pi \]   (b) \[ - \frac{\pi }{2} \le y \le \frac{\pi }{2}\]   (c) \[0 < y < \pi \]   (d) \[ - \frac{\pi }{2} < y < \frac{\pi }{2}\]

Solution

\[{\sin ^{ - 1}}x = y\] y is the range of sin ^-1. And its range is \[ - \frac{\pi }{2} \le y \le \frac{\pi }{2}\] So B is the correct option.

Question (14)

\[{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\sqrt 3 } \right) - {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( { - 2} \right)\;is\;equal\;to\] (a) \[\pi \]   (b) \[ - \frac{\pi }{3}\]   (c) \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]   (d) \[\frac{{2\pi }}{3}\]

Solution

\[{\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\sqrt 3 } \right) - {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( { - 2} \right)\] \[\; = \frac{\pi }{3} - \left( {\pi - {{\sec }^{ - 1}}\left( 2 \right)} \right)\] \[ = \frac{\pi }{3} - \left( {\pi - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right)\] \[ = \frac{\pi }{3} - \frac{{2\pi }}{3} = - \frac{\pi }{3}\] So B is the correct option.
