arcsin(1-x) - 2 (arcsin (x)) = (pi/2) arcsin (1-x) = (pi/2) + 2 (arcsin (x)) (1-x) = sin ((pi/2) + 2 (arcsin(x)) = cos(2 arcsin (x)) = 1 - 2( sin(arcsin (x)))^2 = 1 - 2x^2 x - 2x^2 = 0 x(1 - 2x) = 0 => x = 0 or (1/2) Substituting values of x into equation, only x = 0 is applicable.

Test the options ....:)

Oh made a mistake got the answer but did'nt checked the extraneous root

s i n 1 ( 1 x ) π 2 = 2 s i n 1 x sin^{-1}(1-x) - \dfrac{\pi}{2} = 2sin^{-1}x

c o s ( s i n 1 ( 1 x ) ) π 2 = c o s ( 2 s i n 1 x ) cos(sin^{-1}(1-x)) - \dfrac{\pi}{2} = cos(2sin^{-1}x)

c o s 2 x = 2 s i n 2 x 1 cos2x = 2sin^2x - 1

s i n ( s i n 1 ( 1 x ) ) = 1 2 s i n 2 ( s i n 1 x ) sin(sin^{-1}(1-x)) = 1 - 2sin^{2}(sin^{-1}x)

1 x = 1 2 x 2 \implies 1- x = 1 - 2x^2

2 x 2 x = 0 2x^2 - x = 0

x ( 2 x 1 ) = 0 x(2x - 1) = 0

x = 0 o r x = 1 / 2 \implies x = 0 ~or~ x = 1/2

only 0 satisfy the given expression(I did'nt checked this)

X=1÷2 also satisfy it as sin^(-1)0.5 can be 30° and 150°.So it can be 150°-2*30°=90°.
