Question:

If $sin^{-1}(\frac{x}{5})+cosec^{-1}(\frac{5}{4})=\frac{\pi}{2},$ then the value of x is :

Options:

1

3

4

5

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 3

$cosec^{-1}(\frac{5}{4})+\sin^{-1}(\frac{x}{5})=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{x}{5})=\sec^{-1}\frac{5}{4}$

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{x}{5})=\cos^{-1}\frac{4}{5}$

so $x=3$ as $3^2+4^2=5^2$
