The correct answer is: 0
$\begin{aligned} & 4 \sin ^{-1} x+6 \cos ^{-1} x=3 \pi \\ & \therefore 4\left(\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x\right)+2 \cos ^{-1} x=3 \pi \\ & \therefore 4\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+2 \cos ^{-1} x=3 \pi \quad \Rightarrow 2 \cos ^{-1} x=\pi \\ & \therefore \cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow x=\cos \frac{\pi}{2}=0\end{aligned}$
