Last updated at August 2, 2026 by Teachoo
Assertion (A):
The domain of the function sec
-1
2x is (-ā,1/2]āŖ[1/2,ā )
Reason (R
): sec
-1
(-2)=-Ļ/4
Ā
In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Question 19 Assertion (A): The domain of the function ćš ššć^(ā1) 2š„ šš (āā,1/2]āŖ[1/2,ā ) Reason (R): ćš ššć^(ā1) (ā2)=āš/4 In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false but R is true.
Checking Assertion
Assertion (A): The domain of function ćš ššć^(ā1) 2š„ šš (āā,1/2]āŖ[1/2,ā )
We know that
Domain of ćš ššć^(ā1) Īø šš (āā,1]āŖ[1,ā )
Thus,
āā<Īøā¤1 and 1⤠θ<ā
Putting Īø = 2x
āā<2š„ā¤1 and 1ā¤2š„<ā
Dividing both sides by 2
āā/2<2š„/2ā¤1/2 and 1/2ā¤2š„/2<ā/2
āā<šā¤š/š and š/šā¤š<ā
Thus,
Domain of ćš ššć^(ā1) 2š„ šš (āā,š/š]āŖ[š/š,ā )
Thus, Assertion is true
Checking Reason
Reason (R): ćš ššć^(ā1) (ā2)=āš/4
Let y = secā1 (ā2)
y = šā secā1 (2)
y = š ā š/3
y = šš /š
Since Range of secā1 is [0, Ļ] ā {š/2}
Hence, Principal Value is šš /š
Thus, Reasoning is false
So,
Assertion is true
Reasoning is false
So, the correct answer is (c)
