    \[\frac{d}{dx}(\log \tan x)=\]                                           [MNR 1986]

    A)            \[2\sec 2x\]

    B)            \[2\,\text{cosec }2x\]

    C)            \[\sec 2x\]

    D)            \[\text{cosec}\,2x\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\frac{d}{dx}(\log \tan x)=\frac{1}{\tan x}{{\sec }^{2}}x=\frac{\cos x}{{{\cos }^{2}}x\sin x}\]                             \[=\frac{2}{2}\frac{1}{\cos x\sin x}=2\,\text{cosec}\,2x\].
