π2x3π4cos1(1213cosx+512sinx)cos1(cosxcosα+sinxsinα)cos1(cos(xα))xα because xα(π2,π2)xtan1512\begin{aligned} & \frac{\pi}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{3 \pi}{4} \\ & \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13} \cos x+\frac{5}{12} \sin x\right) \\ & \cos ^{-1}(\cos x \cos \alpha+\sin x \sin \alpha) \\ & \cos ^{-1}(\cos (x-\alpha)) \\ & \Rightarrow x-\alpha \text{ because } x-\alpha \in\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow x-\tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12} \end{aligned}
Q52
If cos1xcos1y2=α{\cos ^{ - 1}}x - {\cos ^{ - 1}}{y \over 2} = \alpha ,where –1 \le x \le 1, – 2 \le y \le 2, x \le y2{y \over 2} , then for all x, y, 4x2 – 4xy cos α\alpha + y2 is equal to :
A 4 sin2 α\alpha
B 2 sin2 α\alpha
C 4 sin2 α\alpha - 2x2y2
D 4 cos2 α\alpha + 2x2y2
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
cos1xcos1y2=α{\cos ^{ - 1}}x - {\cos ^{ - 1}}{y \over 2} = \alpha
cos(cos1xcos1(y2))=cosα\Rightarrow \cos \left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}x - {{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {{y \over 2}} \right)} \right) = \cos \alpha
xy2+1x21y24=cosα\Rightarrow x{y \over 2} + \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} \sqrt {1 - {{{y^2}} \over 4}} = \cos \alpha
(cosαxy2)=1x21y24\left( {\cos \alpha - {{xy} \over 2}} \right) = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} \sqrt {1 - {{{y^2}} \over 4}}

squaring both sides

x2+y24xycosα=1cos2α=sin2α{x^2} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} - xy\cos \alpha = 1 - {\cos ^2}\alpha = {\sin ^2}\alpha

\therefore 4x2 – 4xy cos α\alpha + y2 = 4

sin2α{\sin ^2}\alpha

B 2526{{25} \over {26}}
C 5051{{50} \over {51}}
D 5251{{52} \over {51}}
Correct Answer

Solution
cot(n=150tan1(11+n+n2))\cot \left( {\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over {1 + n + {n^2}}}} \right)} } \right)
=cot(n=150tan1((n+1)n1+(n+1)n))= \cot \left( {\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{{(n + 1) - n} \over {1 + (n + 1)n}}} \right)} } \right)
=cot(n=150(tan1(n+1)tan1n)= \cot \left( {\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {({{\tan }^{ - 1}}(n + 1) - {{\tan }^{ - 1}}n} } \right)
=cot(tan151tan11)= \cot ({\tan ^{ - 1}}51 - {\tan ^{ - 1}}1)
=cot(tan1(5111+51))= \cot \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{{51 - 1} \over {1 + 51}}} \right)} \right)
=cot(cot1(5250))= \cot \left( {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\left( {{{52} \over {50}}} \right)} \right)
=2625= {{26} \over {25}}
Q55
The sum of possible values of x for tan-1(x + 1) + cot-1(1x1)\left( {{1 \over {x - 1}}} \right) = tan-1(831)\left( {{8 \over {31}}} \right) is :
A -324{{{32} \over 4}}
B -334{{{33} \over 4}}
C -314{{{31} \over 4}}
D -304{{{30} \over 4}}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

tan-1(x + 1) + cot-1

(1x1)\left( {{1 \over {x - 1}}} \right)

= tan-1

(831)\left( {{8 \over {31}}} \right)

\Rightarrow tan-1(x + 1) + tan-1(x - 1) = tan-1

(831)\left( {{8 \over {31}}} \right)

\Rightarrow

tan1((x+1)+(x1)1(x+1)(x1)){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{\left( {x + 1} \right) + \left( {x - 1} \right)} \over {1 - \left( {x + 1} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right)}}} \right)

= tan-1

(831)\left( {{8 \over {31}}} \right)

\Rightarrow

(1+x)+(x1)1(1+x)(x1)=831{{(1 + x) + (x - 1)} \over {1 - (1 + x)(x - 1)}} = {8 \over {31}}
2x2x2=831\Rightarrow {{2x} \over {2 - {x^2}}} = {8 \over {31}}
4x2+31x8=0\Rightarrow 4{x^2} + 31x - 8 = 0
x=8,14\Rightarrow x = - 8,{1 \over 4}

but at

x=14x = {1 \over 4}
LHS>π2LHS > {\pi \over 2}

and

RHS<π2RHS < {\pi \over 2}

So, only solution is x = - 8 = -

B 6556{{65} \over {56}}
C 5633{{56} \over {33}}
D 6533{{65} \over {33}}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
cosec(2cot1(5)+cos1(45))\cos ec\left( {2{{\cot }^{ - 1}}(5) + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right)} \right)
cosec(2tan1(15)+cos1(45))\cos ec\left( {2{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over 5}} \right) + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right)} \right)
=cosec(tan1(2(15)1(15)2)+cos1(45))= \cos ec\left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{{2\left( {{1 \over 5}} \right)} \over {1 - {{\left( {{1 \over 5}} \right)}^2}}}} \right) + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right)} \right)
=cosec(tan1(512)+cos1(45))= \cos ec\left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{5 \over {12}}} \right) + {{\cos }^{ - 1}}\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right)} \right)

Let

tan1(5/12)=θsinθ=513,cosθ=1213{\tan ^{ - 1}}(5/12) = \theta \Rightarrow \sin \theta = {5 \over {13}},\cos \theta = {{12} \over {13}}

and

cos1(45)=ϕcosϕ=45{\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right) = \phi \Rightarrow \cos \phi = {4 \over 5}

and

sinϕ=35\sin \phi = {3 \over 5}
=cosec(θ+ϕ)= \cos ec(\theta + \phi )
=1sinθcosϕ+cosθsinϕ= {1 \over {\sin \theta \cos \phi + \cos \theta \sin \phi }}
=1513.45+1213.35=6556= {1 \over {{5 \over {13}}.{4 \over 5} + {{12} \over {13}}.{3 \over 5}}} = {{65} \over {56}}

Q59
If the domain of the function f(x)=loge(4x2+11x+6)+sin1(4x+3)+cos1(10x+63)f(x)=\log _{e}\left(4 x^{2}+11 x+6\right)+\sin ^{-1}(4 x+3)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\dfrac{10 x+6}{3}\right) is (α,β](\alpha, \beta], then 36α+β36|\alpha+\beta| is equal to :
A 72
B 54
C 45
D 63
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To find the domain of the function, we need to consider the individual functions and their respective domains.

We have: f1(x)=ln(4x2+11x+6)f_1(x) = \ln(4x^2 + 11x + 6) f2(x)=sin1(4x+3)f_2(x) = \sin^{-1}(4x + 3) f3(x)=cos1(10x+63)f_3(x) = \cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{10x + 6}{3}\right) For f1(x)f_1(x):

4x2+11x+6>04x^2 + 11x + 6 > 0

Factoring the quadratic expression:

(4x+3)(x+2)>0(4x + 3)(x + 2) > 0

From this inequality, we have:

x(,2)(34,)x \in (-\infty, -2) \cup \left(-\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right)

For f2(x)f_2(x):

14x+31-1 \le 4x + 3 \le 1

From these inequalities, we get:

x[1,12]x \in \left[-1, -\frac{1}{2}\right]

For f3(x)f_3(x):

110x+631-1 \le \frac{10x + 6}{3} \le 1

From these inequalities, we get:

x[910,310]x \in \left[-\frac{9}{10}, -\frac{3}{10}\right]

Now, we need to find the intersection of the domains of the three functions:

(,2)(34,)[1,12][910,310]\left(-\infty, -2\right) \cup \left(-\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right) \cap \left[-1, -\frac{1}{2}\right] \cap \left[-\frac{9}{10}, -\frac{3}{10}\right]

To find the intersection, let's analyze the intervals: The interval (,2)(34,)(-\infty, -2) \cup \left(-\dfrac{3}{4}, \infty\right) contains all xx values less than 2-2 and greater than 34-\dfrac{3}{4}.

The interval [1,12]\left[-1, -\dfrac{1}{2}\right] contains all xx values between 1-1 and 12-\dfrac{1}{2}.

The interval [910,310]\left[-\dfrac{9}{10}, -\dfrac{3}{10}\right] contains all xx values between 910-\dfrac{9}{10} and 310-\dfrac{3}{10}.

Looking at the intervals, we can see that the intersection is:

x(34,12]x \in \left(-\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{1}{2}\right]

Thus, the domain of the function is (α,β]=(34,12](\alpha, \beta] = \left(-\dfrac{3}{4}, -\dfrac{1}{2}\right].

Now, we need to find the value of 36α+β36|\alpha + \beta|:

363412=3654=4536\left|-\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2}\right| = 36\left|-\frac{5}{4}\right| =45
