2 tan–1 (cos x)= tan–1 (cosec2 x), then x =

A

π2\frac{\pi}{2}

B

π

C

π6\frac{\pi}{6}

D

π3\frac{\pi}{3}

Answer

π3\frac{\pi}{3}

Explanation

Solution

2 tan–1 (cos x) = tan–1 (cosec2 x)

⇒ tan–1 [2cosx1cos2x]\left[ \frac { 2 \cos x } { 1 - \cos ^ { 2 } x } \right]= tan–1 [cosec2 x]

2cosxsin2x\frac { 2 \cos x } { \sin ^ { 2 } x }= cosec2 x⇒ 2 cos x = 1

⇒ cos x = 12\frac { 1 } { 2 }⇒ x =π3\frac { \pi } { 3 }
