    If \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x={{\tan }^{-1}}y,\] what is the value of\[\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}}?\]

    A) 1

    B) -1

    C) 0

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let, \[{{\sin }^{-1}}x={{\tan }^{-1}}y=\theta \] \[\Rightarrow x=\sin \theta \] and \[y=\tan \theta \] \[\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }=\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta \] And \[\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }={{\cot }^{2}}\theta .\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}}=\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =1\]
