Let $2 \sin ^2 x+3 \sin x-2\gt0$ and $x^2-x-2 \lt 0$ ( $x$ is measured in radians).
Then $x$ lies in the interval
- $\left(\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)$
- $\left(-1, \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)$
- $(-1,2)$
- $\left(\frac{\pi}{6}, 2\right)$
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad & 2 \sin ^2 x+3 \sin x-2\gt0 \\
& (2 \sin x-1)(\sin x+2)\gt0 \\
& \Rightarrow 2 \sin x-1\gt0 \ldots[\because \sin x+2\gt0 \text { and } x \in \mathrm{R}] \\
& \Rightarrow \sin x\gt\frac{1}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow x \in\left(\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Also, } x^2-x-2 \lt 0 \\
& \Rightarrow(x-2)(x+1) \lt 0 \\
& \Rightarrow-1 \lt x \lt 2
\end{aligned}$
Since $2 \lt \frac{5 \pi}{6}$
$\therefore \quad x$ must lie in $\left(\frac{\pi}{6}, 2\right)$
