Correct answer: A

  1. Interpret the inverse trigonometric functions using principal value ranges

We use:

  • sin⁡−1x∈[−π2,π2]\sin^{-1} x \in \left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]sin−1x∈[−2π​,2π​]
  • cos⁡−1x∈[0,π]\cos^{-1} x \in [0,\pi]cos−1x∈[0,π]
  • tan⁡−1x∈(−π2,π2)\tan^{-1} x \in \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)tan−1x∈(−2π​,2π​)

We evaluate each term separately.


  1. First term: sin⁡−1(sin⁡2π3)\sin^{-1}\left(\sin \frac{2\pi}{3}\right)sin−1(sin32π​)

Since

sin⁡2π3=sin⁡(π−π3)=sin⁡π3=32,\sin \frac{2\pi}{3} = \sin \left(\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},sin32π​=sin(π−3π​)=sin3π​=23​​,

we get

sin⁡−1(sin⁡2π3)=sin⁡−1(32)=π3,\sin^{-1}\left(\sin \frac{2\pi}{3}\right)=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{3},sin−1(sin32π​)=sin−1(23​​)=3π​,

because π3∈[−π2,π2]\frac{\pi}{3}\in \left[-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right]3π​∈[−2π​,2π​].


  1. Second term: cos⁡−1(cos⁡7π6)\cos^{-1}\left(\cos \frac{7\pi}{6}\right)cos−1(cos67π​)

Now,

cos⁡7π6=cos⁡(π+π6)=−cos⁡π6=−32.\cos \frac{7\pi}{6} = \cos \left(\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\cos \frac{\pi}{6} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.cos67π​=cos(π+6π​)=−cos6π​=−23​​.

Hence,

cos⁡−1(cos⁡7π6)=cos⁡−1(−32).\cos^{-1}\left(\cos \frac{7\pi}{6}\right)=\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right).cos−1(cos67π​)=cos−1(−23​​).

The principal value of cos⁡−1\cos^{-1}cos−1 lies in [0,π][0,\pi][0,π], and in this interval,

cos⁡−1(−32)=5π6.\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{5\pi}{6}.cos−1(−23​​)=65π​.
  1. Third term: tan⁡−1(tan⁡3π4)\tan^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{3\pi}{4}\right)tan−1(tan43π​)

Since

tan⁡3π4=−1,\tan \frac{3\pi}{4} = -1,tan43π​=−1,

we get

tan⁡−1(tan⁡3π4)=tan⁡−1(−1)=−π4,\tan^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{3\pi}{4}\right)=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-\frac{\pi}{4},tan−1(tan43π​)=tan−1(−1)=−4π​,

because the principal value range of tan⁡−1\tan^{-1}tan−1 is (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right)(−2π​,2π​).


  1. Add all three values
π3+5π6−π4\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{5\pi}{6}-\frac{\pi}{4}3π​+65π​−4π​

Take LCM =12=12=12:

4π12+10π12−3π12=11π12.\frac{4\pi}{12}+\frac{10\pi}{12}-\frac{3\pi}{12} =\frac{11\pi}{12}.124π​+1210π​−123π​=1211π​.
  1. Match with options
11π12\boxed{\frac{11\pi}{12}}1211π​​

So the correct option is A.
