Correct answer: B

  1. Given α=cos⁡−1(35),β=tan⁡−1(13),0<α,β<π2\alpha=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac35\right),\qquad \beta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac13\right),\qquad 0<\alpha,\beta<\frac\pi2α=cos−1(53​),β=tan−1(31​),0<α,β<2π​

  2. Find trigonometric ratios for α\alphaα

    Since cos⁡α=35,\cos\alpha=\frac35,cosα=53​, and α\alphaα is in the first quadrant, using a right triangle: sin⁡α=45,tan⁡α=43.\sin\alpha=\frac45,\qquad \tan\alpha=\frac43.sinα=54​,tanα=34​.

  3. Find trigonometric ratios for β\betaβ

    Since tan⁡β=13,\tan\beta=\frac13,tanβ=31​, and β\betaβ is in the first quadrant, take opposite =1=1=1, adjacent =3=3=3, so hypotenuse =10=\sqrt{10}=10​. Hence, sin⁡β=110,cos⁡β=310.\sin\beta=\frac1{\sqrt{10}},\qquad \cos\beta=\frac3{\sqrt{10}}.sinβ=10​1​,cosβ=10​3​.

  4. Compute sin⁡(α−β)\sin(\alpha-\beta)sin(α−β)

    sin⁡(α−β)=sin⁡αcos⁡β−cos⁡αsin⁡β\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta-\cos\alpha\sin\betasin(α−β)=sinαcosβ−cosαsinβ =45⋅310−35⋅110=\frac45\cdot\frac3{\sqrt{10}}-\frac35\cdot\frac1{\sqrt{10}}=54​⋅10​3​−53​⋅10​1​ =12510−3510=\frac{12}{5\sqrt{10}}-\frac{3}{5\sqrt{10}}=510​12​−510​3​ =9510.=\frac{9}{5\sqrt{10}}.=510​9​.

  5. Determine the angle uniquely

    Since 0<β<α<π20<\beta<\alpha<\frac\pi20<β<α<2π​, we have 0<α−β<π2.0<\alpha-\beta<\frac\pi2.0<α−β<2π​. Therefore, α−β\alpha-\betaα−β is the principal acute angle whose sine is 9510\frac{9}{5\sqrt{10}}510​9​.

    So, α−β=sin⁡−1(9510).\alpha-\beta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{5\sqrt{10}}\right).α−β=sin−1(510​9​).

  6. Check other equivalent forms (optional)

    Also, cos⁡(α−β)=cos⁡αcos⁡β+sin⁡αsin⁡β\cos(\alpha-\beta)=\cos\alpha\cos\beta+\sin\alpha\sin\betacos(α−β)=cosαcosβ+sinαsinβ =35⋅310+45⋅110=\frac35\cdot\frac3{\sqrt{10}}+\frac45\cdot\frac1{\sqrt{10}}=53​⋅10​3​+54​⋅10​1​ =13510,=\frac{13}{5\sqrt{10}},=510​13​, so option C is not correct.

    And,

    =\frac{\frac43-\frac13}{1+\frac43\cdot\frac13} =\frac{1}{1+\frac49} =\frac{1}{\frac{13}{9}}=\frac9{13},$$ so options A and D are also incorrect.
  7. Final Answer

    sin⁡−1(9510)\boxed{\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{5\sqrt{10}}\right)}sin−1(510​9​)​

    Hence, Option B is correct.
