    If \[x\in [\pi /2,\pi ]\] then\[{{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+\sin x}+\sqrt{1-\sin x}}{\sqrt{1+\sin x}-\sqrt{1-\sin x}} \right)=\]

    A) \[\frac{x-\pi }{2}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi -x}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{3\pi -x}{2}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\sqrt{1+\sin x}=\sin \frac{x}{2}+\cos \frac{x}{2}\] \[\sqrt{1-\sin x}=\sin \frac{x}{2}-\cos \frac{x}{2}\] \[\left[ for\frac{\pi }{4}\le \frac{x}{2}\le \frac{\pi }{2}\sin \frac{\pi }{2}\ge \cos \frac{x}{2} \right]\] \[\therefore \]the expression is \[{{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}+\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}-\cos \frac{x}{2}}{\sin \frac{x}{2}+\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}+\cos \frac{x}{2}} \right)\] \[={{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \tan \frac{x}{2} \right)={{\cot }^{-1}}\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{x}{2} \right)=\frac{\pi -x}{2}\]
