Given equation:

\tan^{-1}\left[2\cos\left(2\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2} \right ) \right ]

So, solving the inner bracket first, we take the value of \sin x^{-1} \frac{1}{2} = x.

Then we have,

\sin x = \frac{1}{2} = \sin \left ( \frac{\pi}{6} \right )

Therefore, we can write \sin^{-1} \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\pi}{6}.

 \tan^{-1}\left[2\cos\left(2\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2} \right ) \right ] = \tan^{-1}\left[2\cos\left(2\times\frac{\pi}{6} \right ) \right ]

= \tan^{-1}\left[2\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3} \right ) \right ] = \tan^{-1}\left[2\times\left(\frac{1}{2} \right ) \right ] = \tan^{-1}1 = \frac{\pi}{4}.
