If& sin⁡−1x+sin⁡−1y=2π3\sin^{- 1}\text{x} + \sin^{- 1}\text{y} = \dfrac{2\pi}{3}~and~cos⁡−1x−cos⁡−1y=π3\cos^{- 1} \text{x} - \cos^{- 1} \text{y} = \dfrac{\pi}{3}.Then, (x,y)( x, y ) is equal to

Options

  1. A(0,1)( 0, 1 )
  2. B(12,1)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, 1\right)
  3. C(1,12)\left(1, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)
  4. D(32,1)\left(\dfrac{3}{2}, 1\right)

Correct answer

B. (12,1)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}, 1\right)

Step-by-step solution

Given,

sin⁡−1x+sin⁡−1y=2π3...(i)\sin^{- 1}\text{x} + \sin^{- 1}\text{y} = \dfrac{2\pi}{3} . . . ( i )

and~cos⁡−1x−cos⁡−1y=π3...(ii)\cos^{- 1}\text{x} - \cos^{- 1}\text{y} = \dfrac{π}{3} . . . ( ii )

We know that~sin⁡−1x+cos⁡−1x=π2\sin^{- 1}\text{x} + \cos^{- 1}\text{x} = \dfrac{π}{2}

Using the above concept, we can write~

⇒(π2−sin⁡−1x)−(π2−sin⁡−1y)=π3⇒ \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{- 1} \text{x}\right) - \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{- 1} \text{y}\right) = \dfrac{\pi}{3}

⇒−sin⁡−1x+sin⁡−1y=π3...(iii)⇒ - \sin^{- 1}\text{x} + \sin^{- 1}\text{y} = \dfrac{π}{3} . . . ( iii )~

On adding equation~ \left(i\right) and \left(iii\right),weget<br/><br/>, we get<br /><br />\sin^{- 1} \text{y} = \dfrac{\pi}{2} ⇒ \text{y} = 1<br/><br/>Onsubtractingequation(i)<br /><br />On subtracting equation \left(i\right)~from equation~ \left(iii\right),weget<br/><br/>, we get<br /><br />\sin^{- 1} \text{x} = \dfrac{\pi}{6} ⇒ \text{x} = \dfrac{1}{2}<br/><br/><br /><br />∴ \left(\text{x, y}\right) = \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \text{,}1\right)</p></p>
