Options:

A) $ \sqrt{\frac{1-x^{2}}{1-y^{2}}} $

B) $ \sqrt{\frac{1-y^{2}}{1-x^{2}}} $

C) $ \sqrt{\frac{x^{2}-1}{1-y^{2}}} $

D) $ \sqrt{\frac{y^{2}-1}{1-x^{2}}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Putting $ x=\sin \theta $ and $ y=\sin \phi $

$ \cos \theta +\cos \phi =a(sin\theta -sin\phi ) $
$ \Rightarrow 2\cos \frac{\theta +\phi }{2}\cos \frac{\theta -\phi }{2}=a{ 2\cos \frac{\theta +\phi }{2}\sin \frac{\theta -\phi }{2} } $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\theta -\phi }{2}={{\cos }^{-1}}a $
$ \Rightarrow \theta -\phi =2{{\cot }^{-1}}a $
$ \Rightarrow {{\sin }^{-1}}x-{{\sin }^{-1}}y=2{{\cot }^{-1}}a $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-y^{2}}}\frac{dy}{dx}=0\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\sqrt{\frac{1-y^{2}}{1-x^{2}}} $
