    If \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x+{{\sin }^{-1}}y+{{\sin }^{-1}}z=\frac{\pi }{2}\], then the value of \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2xyz\]is equal to [Pb. CET 2002]

    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) 2

    D) 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x+{{\sin }^{-1}}y+{{\sin }^{-1}}z=\frac{\pi }{2}\] Put\[{{\sin }^{-1}}x=\alpha \], \[{{\sin }^{-1}}y=\beta ,\] \[{{\sin }^{-1}}z=\gamma \] \[\therefore \] \[\alpha +\beta +\gamma =\frac{\pi }{2}\], (Given) or \[\alpha +\beta =\frac{\pi }{2}-\gamma \] or \[\cos (\alpha +\beta )=\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\gamma  \right)\] \[\cos \alpha \cos \beta -\sin \alpha \sin \beta =\sin \gamma \]                      ?..(i) and, we have \[\sin \alpha =x\] Þ \[\cos \alpha =\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\] Similarly, \[\cos \beta =\sqrt{1-{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] From equation (i), we get \[\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}.\sqrt{1-{{y}^{2}}}=xy+z\] Squaring both sides, we have\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2xyz=1\].
