    If \[{{\cos }^{-1}}x+{{\cos }^{-1}}y+{{\cos }^{-1}}z=\pi ,\]then

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+xyz=0\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2xyz=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+xyz=1\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2xyz=1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given that \[{{\cos }^{-1}}(x)+co{{s}^{-1}}(y)+co{{s}^{-1}}(z)=\pi \] \[\Rightarrow {{\cos }^{-1}}(x)+co{{s}^{-1}}(y)+co{{s}^{-1}}(z)={{\cos }^{-1}}(-1)\] \[\Rightarrow {{\cos }^{-1}}(x)+co{{s}^{-1}}(y)=\pi -co{{s}^{-1}}(z)\] \[\Rightarrow {{\cos }^{-1}}(xy-\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}\sqrt{1-{{y}^{2}}})=co{{s}^{-1}}(-z)\] \[\Rightarrow xy-\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{2}})(1-{{y}^{2}})}=-z\] \[\Rightarrow (xy+z)=\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{2}})(1-{{y}^{2}})}\] Squaring both sides, we get \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2xyz=1.\]
