Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \cos \left(2 \cos ^{-1} x+\sin ^{-1} x\right) \\ & =\cos \left[\left(\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x\right)+\cos ^{-1} x\right] \\ & =\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\cos ^{-1} x\right) \\ & =-\sin \left(\cos ^{-1} x\right) \\ & =-\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \sqrt{\left(1-x^2\right)}\right) \\ & =-\sqrt{1-x^2} \\ & =-\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2} \\ & =-\sqrt{\frac{24}{25}} \\ & =-\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}\end{aligned}\)
