    If 'x' takes negative permissible value, then \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x\] is equal to

    A)  \[-{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]  

    B)  \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}-1}\]

    C)  \[\pi -{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]

    D)  \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x=y.\] Then,  \[x=\sin y\] Since,  \[-1\le x<0,\] therefore \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\le {{\sin }^{-1}}x<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\le y<0\] Now, \[\cos \,y=\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\] for \[0\le y\le \pi \] But         \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\le y<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\pi }{2}\ge -y>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos (-y)=\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-y={{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=-{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]
