  1. A \(\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)
  2. B \(\mathbf{R}\)
  3. C \(\mathbf{Q}\)
  4. D \(\left\{-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+x^2}{2 x}\right)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right)\) We know, domain of \(\sin ^{-1}(x)\) is \([-1,1]\) \(\therefore-1 \leq \frac{1+x^2}{2 x} \leq 1 \text { and }-1 \leq \frac{2 x}{1+x^2} \leq 1\) When,…
