Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The domain of \(\sin^{-1}(x-1)\) is \(-1 \le x-1 \le 1\), which implies \(0 \le x \le 2\). The domain of \(\cos^{-1}(x-3)\) is \(-1 \le x-3 \le 1\), which implies \(2 \le x \le 4\). For the expression to be defined, \(x\) must satisfy both conditions, so \(x = 2\). Substituting…
