The integral $\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 / 2 } \frac { \sin ^ { - 1 } x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } } d x$ can be solved by recognizing it as a standard result, where the integral of $\frac { \sin ^ { - 1 } x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } }$ from 0 to 1/2 is a part of the integral from 0 to 1, which equals $\frac{\pi^2}{8}$. However, since we're only integrating to 1/2, the value is halved, resulting in $\frac{\pi^2}{16}$. This is not directly one of the options, indicating a mistake in the explanation. The correct approach involves recognizing the integral as a form that evaluates to $\frac{\pi^2}{8}$ over the full interval [0,1], but since the question involves a specific interval [0, 1/2], the correct evaluation should directly relate to how the integral of $\sin^{-1}x$ behaves over this specific interval, leading to the correct answer being $\frac{\pi^2}{72}$, which accounts for the specific bounds given and the nature of the integral.
