Correct answer: D

  1. We are given
sin⁡−1(x5)+csc⁡−1(54)=π2.\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)+\csc^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}.sin−1(5x​)+csc−1(45​)=2π​.

We need to find xxx.

  1. First, evaluate csc⁡−1(54)\csc^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)csc−1(45​).

Let

θ=csc⁡−1(54).\theta=\csc^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{4}\right).θ=csc−1(45​).

Then

csc⁡θ=54⇒sin⁡θ=45.\csc \theta=\frac{5}{4} \quad\Rightarrow\quad \sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}.cscθ=45​⇒sinθ=54​.

Since the principal value of csc⁡−1y\csc^{-1}ycsc−1y lies in the interval [−π2,0)∪(0,π2]\left[-\frac{\pi}{2},0\right)\cup\left(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right][−2π​,0)∪(0,2π​], and 54>1\frac{5}{4}>145​>1, we take

θ=sin⁡−1(45).\theta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right).θ=sin−1(54​).

So,

csc⁡−1(54)=sin⁡−1(45).\csc^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right).csc−1(45​)=sin−1(54​).
  1. Substitute this into the given equation:
sin⁡−1(x5)+sin⁡−1(45)=π2.\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)+\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}.sin−1(5x​)+sin−1(54​)=2π​.
  1. Rearranging,
sin⁡−1(x5)=π2−sin⁡−1(45).\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right).sin−1(5x​)=2π​−sin−1(54​).

Now use the identity

π2−sin⁡−1(t)=cos⁡−1(t).\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}(t)=\cos^{-1}(t).2π​−sin−1(t)=cos−1(t).

Thus,

sin⁡−1(x5)=cos⁡−1(45).\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right).sin−1(5x​)=cos−1(54​).

But if sin⁡θ=45\sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}sinθ=54​ for an acute angle, then

cos⁡θ=35.\cos\theta=\frac{3}{5}.cosθ=53​.

Hence,

cos⁡−1(45) is not directly needed; instead take sine on both sides of sin⁡−1(x5)=π2−sin⁡−1(45).\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\text{ is not directly needed; instead take sine on both sides of } \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right).cos−1(54​) is not directly needed; instead take sine on both sides of sin−1(5x​)=2π​−sin−1(54​).

So,

x5=sin⁡(π2−sin⁡−1(45))=cos⁡(sin⁡−1(45)).\frac{x}{5}= \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\right) =\cos\left(\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\right).5x​=sin(2π​−sin−1(54​))=cos(sin−1(54​)).
  1. If
sin⁡α=45,\sin\alpha=\frac{4}{5},sinα=54​,

then

cos⁡α=1−sin⁡2α=1−1625=925=35.\cos\alpha=\sqrt{1-\sin^2\alpha} =\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} =\frac{3}{5}.cosα=1−sin2α​=1−2516​​=259​​=53​.

Therefore,

x5=35.\frac{x}{5}=\frac{3}{5}.5x​=53​.

So,

x=3.x=3.x=3.
  1. Checking options:
  • A: 444 ❌
  • B: 555 ❌
  • C: 111 ❌
  • D: 333 ✅

Therefore, the correct answer is

3.\boxed{3}.3​.
