View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
5π24\frac{5 \pi^2}{4} and π28\frac{\pi^2}{8}
Option D (5π24\frac{5 \pi^2}{4} and π28\frac{\pi^2}{8}) is correct because by using the identity (sin⁡−1x)2+(cos⁡−1x)2=(sin⁡−1x+cos⁡−1x)2−2sin⁡−1xcos⁡−1x(\sin^{-1} x)^2 + (\cos^{-1} x)^2 = (\sin^{-1} x + \cos^{-1} x)^2 - 2 \sin^{-1} x \cos^{-1} x and completing the square, we can find the maximum and minimum values.
