    Differential coefficient of \[\sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}}\]is     [MP PET 1996]

    A)  \[\frac{1}{4\sqrt{x}}{{(\sec \sqrt{x})}^{3/2}}\sin \sqrt{x}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{4\sqrt{x}}\sec \sqrt{x}\sin \sqrt{x}\] 

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{x}{{(\sec \sqrt{x})}^{3/2}}\sin \sqrt{x}\]

    D)   \[\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{x}\sec \sqrt{x}\sin \sqrt{x}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{d}{dx}\left( \sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}} \right)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}}}.\frac{d}{dx}(\sec \sqrt{x})\]                    \[=\frac{1}{2{{(\sec \sqrt{x})}^{1/2}}}.\sec \sqrt{x}.\tan \sqrt{x}.\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\]                    \[{{x}^{2}}=\cos 2\theta \].
