    \[\sin \left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{2x} \right)+{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right) \right\}\]is equal to [Kurukshetra CEE 2001]

    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) \[\sqrt{2}\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      \[\sin \,\left[ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{2x} \right)+{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right) \right]\] Putting \[x=\tan \theta \] we get, \[\sin \left[ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{2\tan \theta } \right)+{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta } \right) \right]\] = \[\sin [{{\tan }^{-1}}(\cot 2\theta )+{{\cos }^{-1}}(\cos 2\theta )]\]   = \[\sin [{{\tan }^{-1}}\tan (\pi /2-2\theta )+{{\cos }^{-1}}\cos 2\theta ]\] = \[\sin \frac{\pi }{2}=1\].
