Question:

Statement-1: If $a^2 + b^2 =c^2 , c ≠ 0 , ab ≠ 0,$ then the non-zero solution of the equation $sin^{-1}\frac{ax}{c}+sin^{-1}\frac{bx}{c}=sin^{-1}x$ is , ±1. 

Statement-2: $ sin^{-1}x +sin^{-1}y =sin^{-1}(x + y)$

Options:

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Correct Answer:

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

Explanation:

Clearly, statement-2 is not true.

We have,

$c^2 = a^2 +b^2. $ So, let a = c cos $\alpha $ and b = c sin $\alpha $. Then,

$sin^{-1}\frac{ax}{c}+sin^{-1}\frac{bx}{c}= sin^{-1}x $

$⇒ sin^{-1} (x cos \alpha ) + sin^{-1} ( x sin \alpha ) = sin^{-1} x $

$⇒ sin^{-1} \begin{Bmatrix} x cos \alpha \sqrt{1-x^2 sin^ \alpha} + x sin \alpha \sqrt{1-x^2 cos^2 \alpha }\end{Bmatrix}= sin^{-1}x$

$⇒ cos \alpha \sqrt{1-x^2 sin^2 \alpha} + sin \alpha \sqrt{1-x^2 cos^2 \alpha } = 1 $    [∵ x ≠ 0]

Clearly, x = ± 1 satisfies this equation.
