Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

For (A), using the property cos⁡−1(−x)=π−cos⁡−1(x)\cos^{-1}(-x) = \pi - \cos^{-1}(x):

cos⁡−1x+cos⁡−1(−x)\cos^{-1} x + \cos^{-1}(-x)

=cos⁡−1x+π−cos⁡−1x= \cos^{-1} x + \pi - \cos^{-1} x

=π= \pi

(A) matches with (III)


For (B), using cosec−1(−x)=−cosec−1(x)\text{cosec}^{-1}(-x) = -\text{cosec}^{-1}(x) and sec⁡−1(−x)=π−sec⁡−1(x)\sec^{-1}(-x) = \pi - \sec^{-1}(x):

cosec−1(−x)+sec⁡−1(−x)\text{cosec}^{-1}(-x) + \sec^{-1}(-x)

=−cosec−1(x)+π−sec⁡−1(x)= -\text{cosec}^{-1}(x) + \pi - \sec^{-1}(x)

=π−[cosec−1(x)+sec⁡−1(x)]= \pi - [\text{cosec}^{-1}(x) + \sec^{-1}(x)]

Using cosec−1(x)+sec⁡−1(x)=π2\text{cosec}^{-1}(x) + \sec^{-1}(x) = \frac{\pi}{2}:

=π−π2= \pi - \frac{\pi}{2}

=π2= \frac{\pi}{2}

(B) matches with (IV)


For (C), finding tan⁡−13\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}:

The angle with tangent 3\sqrt{3} is π3\frac{\pi}{3}

For sec⁡−1(−2)\sec^{-1}(-2), we need sec⁡(θ)=−2\sec(\theta) = -2, which means cos⁡(θ)=−12\cos(\theta) = -\frac{1}{2}

In the range [0,π][0, \pi] excluding π2\frac{\pi}{2}, this gives θ=2π3\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}

Therefore:

tan⁡−13−sec⁡−1(−2)\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3} - \sec^{-1}(-2)

=π3−2π3= \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{2\pi}{3}

=−π3= -\frac{\pi}{3}

(C) matches with (II)


For (D), since 4π3\frac{4\pi}{3} is outside the range of tan⁡−1\tan^{-1}, which is (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right):

4π3=π+π3\frac{4\pi}{3} = \pi + \frac{\pi}{3}

Using tan⁡(π+θ)=tan⁡(θ)\tan(\pi + \theta) = \tan(\theta):

tan⁡4π3=tan⁡π3=3\tan\frac{4\pi}{3} = \tan\frac{\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3}

Therefore:

tan⁡−1(tan⁡4π3)=tan⁡−1(3)=π3\tan^{-1}\left(\tan\frac{4\pi}{3}\right) = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}

(D) matches with (I)


Final Matching:

(A) → (III) = π\pi

(B) → (IV) = π2\frac{\pi}{2}

(C) → (II) = −π3-\frac{\pi}{3}

(D) → (I) = π3\frac{\pi}{3}
