If sin-1x+sin-1y+sin-1z=3π2 andf(1)=2,f(p+q)=f(p)·f(q),∀p,q∈R, then xf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3)-(x+y+z)xf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3) is equal to

  • A
    0
  • B
    1
  • Correct answer
    C
    2
  • D
    3

Solution

∵ -π2≤sin-1x≤π2,-π2≤sin-1y≤π2

and -π2≤sin-1z≤π2

Given that, 

sin-1x+sin-1y+sin-1z=3π2

Which is possible only when

sin-1x=sin-1y=sin-1z=π2

⇒ x=y=z=1

Put p=q=1

Then, f(2)=f(1)f(1)=2×2=4

and put p=1,q=2

then, f(3)=f(1) f(2)

=2·22=8

∴ xf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3)-x+y+zxf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3)

=1+1+1-31+1+1=3-1=2

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