    The angle of intersection of the curves\[{{y}^{2}}=2x/\pi \]and\[y=\sin x\]is:

    A) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}(-1/\pi )\]                              

    B) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}\pi \]

    C) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(-\pi )\]                  

    D) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{\pi } \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given equation of curves are                 \[{{y}^{2}}=2x/\pi \]and\[y=\sin x\] \[\therefore \]The point of intersections are \[(0,\,\,0)\] and\[(\pi /2,\,\,1)\]. \[\therefore \]The slope of curve\[{{y}^{2}}=2x/\pi \]at point\[(\pi /2,\,\,1)\]is                 \[{{m}_{1}}=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{y\pi }=\frac{1}{\pi }\] And slope of curve \[y=\sin x\] at point\[(\pi /2,\,\,1)\]is                 \[{{m}_{2}}=\frac{dy}{dx}=\cos x=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[\tan \theta =\frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{1+{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}\] Note: Whenever we find the angle of intersection of two curves, we have to find the angle between the tangents at that point.
