Question:

If $cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n}{2\pi}\right) > \frac{2\pi}{3}$, then maximum and minimum values of integer n are respectively

Options:

-6 and -3

-6 and -4

3 and 6

4 and 6

Correct Answer:

-6 and -4

Explanation:

We have, 

$cos^{-1}\left(\frac{n}{2\pi}\right) > \frac{2\pi}{3}$

$ ⇒ - 1 < \frac{n}{2\pi} < -\frac{1}{2}$

$ ⇒ -2 \pi < n < - \pi $

$ ⇒ -6.18 < n < - 3.14 $

$ ⇒ -6 ≤ n ≤ -4 $ where n ∈ Z.
