Q30 / 71 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Inverse Trigonometric Functions

If sin-15x+sin-112x=sin-12x+cos-12x, then the value of x is equal to

Correct answer: 13

Solution

sin-15x and sin-112x are both defined when x>12. Therefore
cos-11-25x2+sin-112x=π2 ∵sin-12x+cos-12x=π2
sin-112x=sin-11-25x2
On comparing, we get,
12x=1-25x2

Therefore, 144=x2-25 or x=13

Hence, the correct answer is 13.
