Correct answer: D

  1. Given equation

We need to solve

cos⁡−1(2x)−2cos⁡−1 ⁣(1−x2)=π,x∈[−12,12].\cos^{-1}(2x)-2\cos^{-1}\!\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)=\pi, \qquad x\in\left[-\frac12,\frac12\right].cos−1(2x)−2cos−1(1−x2​)=π,x∈[−21​,21​].

Let

θ=cos⁡−1(2x).\theta=\cos^{-1}(2x).θ=cos−1(2x).

Since x∈[−12,12]x\in\left[-\frac12,\frac12\right]x∈[−21​,21​], we have 2x∈[−1,1]2x\in[-1,1]2x∈[−1,1], so θ\thetaθ is well-defined.

Also,

ϕ=cos⁡−1(1−x2).\phi=\cos^{-1}(\sqrt{1-x^2}).ϕ=cos−1(1−x2​).

Because x∈[−1,1]x\in[-1,1]x∈[−1,1], we know 1−x2∈[0,1]\sqrt{1-x^2}\in[0,1]1−x2​∈[0,1], hence

ϕ∈[0,π2].\phi\in\left[0,\frac\pi2\right].ϕ∈[0,2π​].

So the equation becomes

θ−2ϕ=π.\theta-2\phi=\pi.θ−2ϕ=π.

That is,

θ=π+2ϕ.\theta=\pi+2\phi.θ=π+2ϕ.
  1. Range analysis

Now,

θ=cos⁡−1(2x)∈[0,π].\theta=\cos^{-1}(2x)\in[0,\pi].θ=cos−1(2x)∈[0,π].

And since ϕ∈[0,π2]\phi\in\left[0,\frac\pi2\right]ϕ∈[0,2π​],

π+2ϕ∈[π,2π].\pi+2\phi\in[\pi,2\pi].π+2ϕ∈[π,2π].

For

θ=π+2ϕ\theta=\pi+2\phiθ=π+2ϕ

to hold with θ∈[0,π]\theta\in[0,\pi]θ∈[0,π], the right-hand side must also lie in [0,π][0,\pi][0,π]. But π+2ϕ≥π\pi+2\phi\ge \piπ+2ϕ≥π, so the only possible case is

π+2ϕ=π⇒ϕ=0.\pi+2\phi=\pi \quad\Rightarrow\quad \phi=0.π+2ϕ=π⇒ϕ=0.

Thus,

cos⁡−1(1−x2)=0.\cos^{-1}(\sqrt{1-x^2})=0.cos−1(1−x2​)=0.

This implies

1−x2=1⇒x=0.\sqrt{1-x^2}=1 \quad\Rightarrow\quad x=0.1−x2​=1⇒x=0.

Check in the original equation:

cos⁡−1(0)−2cos⁡−1(1)=π2−0=π2≠π.\cos^{-1}(0)-2\cos^{-1}(1)=\frac\pi2-0=\frac\pi2\ne\pi.cos−1(0)−2cos−1(1)=2π​−0=2π​=π.

So even x=0x=0x=0 does not satisfy the equation.

Hence,

S=∅.S=\varnothing.S=∅.
  1. Required sum

We need

∑x∈S2sin⁡−1(x2−1).\sum_{x\in S} 2\sin^{-1}(x^2-1).x∈S∑​2sin−1(x2−1).

Since SSS is empty, the sum over an empty set is

0.0.0.
  1. Compare with options
  • Option A: π−2sin⁡−1(34)≠0\pi-2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\right) \ne 0π−2sin−1(43​​)=0
  • Option B: π−sin⁡−1(34)≠0\pi-\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\right) \ne 0π−sin−1(43​​)=0
  • Option C: −2π3≠0-\frac{2\pi}{3} \ne 0−32π​=0
  • Option D: None

Therefore, the correct option is

D.\boxed{\text{D}}.D​.
  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

So they agree.
