If $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{13}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{12}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}$,…
If $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{13}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{12}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}$, then the value of $x$ is
- 4
- 12
- 5
- 11
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
& \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{13}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{12}\right) \\
& =\sec ^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{12}\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right) \\
& \therefore \quad \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{13}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{13}\right) \\
& \therefore \quad x=5
\end{aligned}$
