Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(11 \pi^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ f(x)=\left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)^2+\left(\cos ^{-1} x\right)^2 \] Let \[ \sin ^{-1} x=a \text { and } \cos ^{-1} x=b \] Then, \[ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =a^2+b^2 \\ & =(a+b)^2-2 a b \end{aligned} \] Put the value of \(a\) and \(b\)…
