    Directions : (1 - 10)
    The following questions consist of two statements, one labelled as "Assertion [A] and the other labelled as Reason [R]". You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if Assertion [A] and Reason [R] are individually true and if so, whether the Reason [R] is the correct explanation for the given Assertion [A]. Select your answer from following options.
     
    Assertion [A]: The principal value of \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)\] is \[-\frac{\pi }{6}\].
    Reason [R]: The principal value of \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( -x \right)\] is \[-{{\sin }^{-1}}x\] if \[x\in \left[ -1,\,\,1 \right]\]
     

    A) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

    B) Both A and R are individually true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

    C) 'A' is true but 'R' is false

    D) 'A' is false but 'R' is true

    E) Both A and R are false.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( -\sin \frac{\pi }{6} \right)={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \sin \left( -\frac{\pi }{6} \right) \right)=-\frac{\pi }{6}\] Here both statements are true and Statement R is the correct explanation of statement A. \[\therefore \]Option [A] is the Correct answer.
