Correct Answer :

Option B

11 + 1 2 3

11 + 1 2 3

Solution :

The correct answer is:
11 + 1 2 3

Let us solve the problem step-by-step.
We are given that π2<x<π, which means x lies in the second quadrant.
We are also given:
cot x = - 5 11

Using the trigonometric identity csc2x=1+cot2x, we can find cscx:
csc 2 x = 1 + ( - 5 11 ) 2 = 1 + 25 11 = 36 11
Since x is in the second quadrant, sinx (and thus cscx) is positive:
csc x = 6 11 sin x = 11 6

Now we determine cosx:
cos x = cot x · sin x = ( - 5 11 ) · ( 11 6 ) = - 5 6

Let the expression we want to evaluate be E:
E = sin ( 11 x 2 ) ( sin 6 x - cos 6 x ) + cos ( 11 x 2 ) ( sin 6 x + cos 6 x )

Expanding the terms:
E = sin ( 11 x 2 ) sin 6 x - sin ( 11 x 2 ) cos 6 x + cos ( 11 x 2 ) sin 6 x + cos ( 11 x 2 ) cos 6 x

We can regroup the terms as follows:
E = [ sin 6 x cos ( 11 x 2 ) - cos 6 x sin ( 11 x 2 ) ] + [ cos 6 x cos ( 11 x 2 ) + sin 6 x sin ( 11 x 2 ) ]

Using the trigonometric identities:
sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosAsinB
and
cos(A-B)=cosAcosB+sinAsinB
with A=6x and B=11x2, we get:
E = sin ( 6 x - 11 x 2 ) + cos ( 6 x - 11 x 2 )

Simplifying the angle:
6 x - 11 x 2 = 12 x - 11 x 2 = x 2
Thus, the expression simplifies to:
E = sin ( x 2 ) + cos ( x 2 )

Since π2<x<π, the half-angle satisfies π4<x2<π2.
This means x2 is in the first quadrant, so both sin(x2) and cos(x2) are positive.
We can use the half-angle formulas:
sin ( x 2 ) = 1 - cos x 2
and
cos ( x 2 ) = 1 + cos x 2

Substitute cosx=-56:
sin ( x 2 ) = 1 - ( - 5 6 ) 2 = 1 + 5 6 2 = 11 12 = 11 2 3
and
cos ( x 2 ) = 1 + ( - 5 6 ) 2 = 1 - 5 6 2 = 1 12 = 1 2 3

Summing these values, we get:
E = sin ( x 2 ) + cos ( x 2 ) = 11 2 3 + 1 2 3 = 11 + 1 2 3
