Correct answer: C

  1. Solve cos⁡(2sin⁡−1x)=19\cos(2\sin^{-1}x)=\dfrac{1}{9}cos(2sin−1x)=91​

Let θ=sin⁡−1x  ⟹  sin⁡θ=x.\theta=\sin^{-1}x \implies \sin\theta=x.θ=sin−1x⟹sinθ=x. Using the identity cos⁡2θ=1−2sin⁡2θ,\cos 2\theta=1-2\sin^2\theta,cos2θ=1−2sin2θ, we get cos⁡(2sin⁡−1x)=1−2x2.\cos\left(2\sin^{-1}x\right)=1-2x^2.cos(2sin−1x)=1−2x2. So the equation becomes 1−2x2=19.1-2x^2=\frac{1}{9}.1−2x2=91​.

Thus, 2x2=1−19=892x^2=1-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{9}2x2=1−91​=98​ x2=49x^2=\frac{4}{9}x2=94​ x=±23.x=\pm \frac{2}{3}.x=±32​.

Since x=mnx=\dfrac{m}{n}x=nm​ with m,nm,nm,n co-prime natural numbers, we must have x=23.x=\frac{2}{3}.x=32​. Hence, m=2,n=3.m=2,\quad n=3.m=2,n=3.


  1. Form the quadratic whose roots are α,β\alpha,\betaα,β

Given equation: mx2−nx−m+n=0.mx^2-nx-m+n=0.mx2−nx−m+n=0. Substituting m=2,n=3m=2, n=3m=2,n=3: 2x2−3x−2+3=02x^2-3x-2+3=02x2−3x−2+3=0 2x2−3x+1=0.2x^2-3x+1=0.2x2−3x+1=0.

Factorizing, 2x2−3x+1=(2x−1)(x−1)=0.2x^2-3x+1=(2x-1)(x-1)=0.2x2−3x+1=(2x−1)(x−1)=0. So the roots are x=1,x=12.x=1,\quad x=\frac{1}{2}.x=1,x=21​.

Given α>β\alpha>\betaα>β, we have α=1,β=12.\alpha=1,\quad \beta=\frac{1}{2}.α=1,β=21​. Thus the point is (α,β)=(1,12).(\alpha,\beta)=\left(1,\frac{1}{2}\right).(α,β)=(1,21​).


  1. Check which line passes through (1,12)\left(1,\frac{1}{2}\right)(1,21​)
  • A: 3x−2y=−23x-2y=-23x−2y=−2 3(1)−2(12)=3−1=2≠−23(1)-2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=3-1=2\ne -23(1)−2(21​)=3−1=2=−2 Not correct.

  • B: 3x+2y=23x+2y=23x+2y=2 3(1)+2(12)=3+1=4≠23(1)+2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=3+1=4\ne 23(1)+2(21​)=3+1=4=2 Not correct.

  • C: 5x+8y=95x+8y=95x+8y=9 5(1)+8(12)=5+4=95(1)+8\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=5+4=95(1)+8(21​)=5+4=9 Correct.

  • D: 5x−8y=−95x-8y=-95x−8y=−9 5(1)−8(12)=5−4=1≠−95(1)-8\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=5-4=1\ne -95(1)−8(21​)=5−4=1=−9 Not correct.

Therefore, the point (α,β)(\alpha,\beta)(α,β) lies on 5x+8y=9.\boxed{5x+8y=9}.5x+8y=9​.

So the correct option is C.
