B

cos-1(π/7)

C

sin-1(2π/7)

D

coses-1(π/7)

Correct Answer :

sin-1(π/7)

Solution :

The correct option is sin-1(π/7).

Let's understand the step-by-step mathematical reasoning to show why this is the correct answer.

First, let's analyze the expression given in the question:
sin 1 ( sin ( 6 π 7 ) )

We know that the principal value branch of the inverse sine function, sin 1 ( x ) , is restricted to the interval [ π 2 , π 2 ] .
This means that sin 1 ( sin ( θ ) ) = θ only if θ lies within [ π 2 , π 2 ] .

Here, our angle is θ = 6 π 7 .
Since 6 π 7 > π 2 , the angle does not lie in the principal value branch. Therefore, we must use trigonometric identities to rewrite the angle within the interval [ π 2 , π 2 ] .

We use the trigonometric identity sin ( π x ) = sin ( x ) .
Let us express 6 π 7 in terms of π :
6 π 7 = π π 7

Applying the identity:
sin ( 6 π 7 ) = sin ( π π 7 ) = sin ( π 7 )

Substitute this back into our original expression:
sin 1 ( sin ( 6 π 7 ) ) = sin 1 ( sin ( π 7 ) )

Since π 7 lies within the principal value interval [ π 2 , π 2 ] , we can simplify the expression:
sin 1 ( sin ( π 7 ) ) = π 7

Thus, sin 1 sin ( 6 π 7 ) is equivalent to sin 1 ( sin ( π 7 ) ) , which corresponds exactly to the option sin-1(π/7).
