Q32 / 71 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Let S1 is the complete solution set of the inequality cos-1x>cos-1x2 and S2 is the complete solution set of the inequality cot-1x2-5cot-1x+6>0, then S1∩S2 is

  • A
    -1,0
  • B
    cot3,0
  • Correct answer
    C
    cot2,0
  • D
    -1,cot2

Solution

cos-1x>cos-1x2 ⇒x<x2 & x∈-1,1
{ ∵ cos-1x is a decreasing function}
⇒ xx–1>0 & x∈-1,1
⇒ x∈-∞,0∪1,∞ & x∈-1,1
⇒x∈-1,0 … 1
Now cot-1x2-5cot-1x+6>0
⇒cot-1x-2cot-1x-3>0
⇒cot-1x<2 or x<cot3 … 2
{ ∵ cot-1x is a decreasing function}
Figure
1∩2⇒cot2,0

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