The correct answer is: -1, 0
              tan -1  x x + 1 + sin -1  x 2 + x + 1 = π 2

⇒           tan -1  x 2 + x + sin -1  x 2 + x + 1 = π 2

This equation holds true, if

             x 2 + x 0   and   0 x 2 + x + 1 1

Now,     x 2 + x 0   and   0 x 2 + x + 1 1

⇒         x 2 + x 0   and   x 2 + x + 1 1      ∵   x 2 + x + 1 > for all x

⇒         x 2 + x 0   and   x 2 + x 0

⇒         x 2 + x = 0     ⇒    x = 0 , - 1 .

Clearly, these two values satisfy the given equation. Hence, x=-1, 0 are the solutions of the given equation.
