Question

Solve the following

sin(cos135)+cos(tan1512)\sin\lparen cos^{-1}\tfrac{3}{5}\rparen+\cos\lparen tan^{-1}\tfrac{5}{12}\rparen​​

A.

10065\tfrac{100}{65}​​

B.

10865\tfrac{108}{65}​​

C.

11265\tfrac{112}{65}​​

D.

10465\tfrac{104}{65}​​

Correct option is C

Given:

sin(cos135)+cos(tan1512)\sin \left(\cos^{-1} \frac{3}{5} \right) + \cos \left(\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} \right)​​

Concept Used:

sin(cos1x)=1x2\sin (\cos^{-1} x) = \sqrt{1 - x^2}​​

cos(tan1x)=11+x2\cos (\tan^{-1} x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}​​

Solution:

Since,    cosθ=35,sin2θ+cos2θ=1 cos \theta = \frac{3}{5}​, \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1​:

sinθ=1(35)2=1925=1625=45\sin \theta = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{9}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \frac{4}{5}​​

Thus,

sin(cos135)=45\sin \left(\cos^{-1} \frac{3}{5} \right) = \frac{4}{5}​​

Since,  tanθ=512,sec2θ=1+tan2θ;\tan \theta = \frac{5}{12}​, \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta;​​

cosθ=11+(512)2=11+25144=1169144=1213\cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{5}{12}\right)^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{25}{144}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{169}{144}}} = \frac{12}{13}​​

Thus,

cos(tan1512)=1213\cos \left(\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} \right) = \frac{12}{13}

Using these values in equation,

sin(cos135)+cos(tan1512)\sin \left(\cos^{-1} \frac{3}{5} \right) + \cos \left(\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} \right)​​​

=45+1213=4×13+12×55×13=52+6065=11265\frac{4}{5} + \frac{12}{13} = \frac{4 \times 13 + 12 \times 5}{5 \times 13} = \frac{52 + 60}{65} = \frac{112}{65}

Option (c) is right.
