Q.

Let (a,b)(0,2π) be the largest interval for which sin-1(sinθ)-cos-1(sinθ)>0, θ(0,2π), holds.

If αx2+βx+sin-1(x2-6x+10)+cos-1(x2-6x+10)=0 and α-β=b-a, then α is equal to              [2023]

1 π8  
2 π48  
3 π16  
4 π12  

Ans.

(4)

We know that sin-1x+cos-1x=π2

sin-1(sinθ)-(π2-sin-1(sinθ))>0; This equation holds true if,sin-1(sinθ)>π4sinθ>12  So, θ(π4,3π4)

θ(π4,3π4)=(a,b)b-a=π2=α-β  [Given]

β=α-π2

Now,  αx2+βx+sin-1[(x-3)2+1] +cos-1[(x-3)2+1]=0

sin-1[(x-3)2+1] +cos-1[(x-3)2+1]=π2  if x=3

Put x=3, 9α+3β+π2=0; Put β=α-π2

 9α+3(α-π2)+π2=0

 12α-π=0α=π12
