Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \sin \sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x\right)=1=\sin \frac{\pi}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5} \\ & \Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} x=\cos ^{-1} \frac{1}{5} \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{5}\end{aligned}\)
