Q65 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

If sin-1x<cos-1x, then

  • Correct answer
    A
    -1≤x<12
  • B
    -3≤x<-1
  • C
    12<x≤1
  • D
    1<x<3

Solution

Given, sin-1x<cos-1x

⇒cos-1x>π2-cos-1x      sin-1x+cos-1x=π2

⇒2cos-1x>π2

⇒cos-1x>π4

⇒x<cosπ4         (As cosθ is decreasing function.)

⇒x<12  ……1

Domain of  cos-1θ is -1,1   ……2

Combining equation (1) and (2) we get,

x∈[-1,12)

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