Q67 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Mathematics

Given \( 0 \leq x \leq \frac{1}{2} \) then the value of
\[ \tan \left[\sin ^{-1}\left\{\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\right\}-\sin ^{-1} x\right] \text { is } \]

  • A
    \( 0 \sqrt{3} \)
  • B
    \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)
  • Correct answer
    C
    1
  • D
    \( -1 \)

Solution

Given that
\[ \begin{array}{l} \tan \left[\sin ^{-1}\left\{\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\right\}-\sin ^{-1} x\right] \\ =\tan \left[\sin ^{-1}\left\{\frac{x+\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\right\}-\sin ^{-1} x\right] \\ \text { Let } \sin ^{-1} x=\theta \Rightarrow x=\sin \theta \\ \text { Now, } \tan \left[\sin ^{-1}\left\{\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{\sqrt{2}}\right\}-\theta\right] \\ =\tan \left[\sin ^{-1}\left\{\sin \left(\theta+\frac{\Pi}{4}\right)-\theta\right\}\right] \\ =\tan \left[\theta+\frac{\Pi}{4}-\theta\right]=\tan \frac{\Pi}{4}=1 \end{array} \]

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
