Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. $(A)$

Solution:

  1. Given, $A=2 \tan ^{-1}(2 \sqrt{2}-1)$

and $B=3 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}+\sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}$

Here, $\quad A=2 \tan ^{-1}(2 \sqrt{2}-1)$

$ =2 \tan ^{-1}(2 \times 1.414-1) $

$ =2 \tan ^{-1}(1.828) $

$\therefore \quad A>2 \tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

To find the value of $B$, we first say

$ \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}<\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\pi}{6} $

so that $\quad 0<3 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}<\frac{\pi}{2}$

Now, $\quad 3 \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}=\sin ^{-1} 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3}-4 \cdot \frac{1}{27}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\sin ^{-1} \frac{23}{27} \\ & =\sin ^{-1}(0.851)<\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\pi}{3} \\ & \sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=\sin ^{-1}(0.6)<\sin ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\pi}{3} \\ & \therefore \quad B<\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \end{aligned} $

Thus, $A>\frac{2 \pi}{3}$ and $B<\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

Hence, greater angle is $A$.
