[RPET 1996]

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{2} $

B) $ -\frac{1}{2} $

C) 1

D) 0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Let $ y={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{\frac{1-x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}} $ and $ z={{\cos }^{-1}}(x^{2}) $

Put $ x^{2}=\cos 2\theta $ ; $ \therefore y={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{\frac{2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }}=\theta $ and $ z=2\theta $

$ \therefore \frac{dy}{dz}=\frac{dy/d\theta }{dz/d\theta }=\frac{1}{2} $ .
