The correct answer is: $0$
Given equation is
$2 \cos ^{-1} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1+x}{2}\right)}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \cos ^{-1} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1+x}{2}\right)}=\frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{1+x}}{\sqrt{2}} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{1+x}}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow 1=\sqrt{1+x} \Rightarrow x=0 \\
&
\end{aligned}$
