    \[\frac{d}{dx}\left[ a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right) \right]=\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}-1}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,a-2b\]is equal to

    A)  1                                            

    B)  -1

    C)  0                            

    D)         2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,\[\frac{d}{dx}\left[ a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right) \right]=\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}-1}\] On integrating both sides, we get                 \[a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\int{\left[ \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}-1}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}+1} \right]dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)\]                 \[=\frac{1}{4}\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)-\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=-\frac{1}{2}\],   \[b=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[a-2b=-\frac{1}{2}-2\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)=-1\]
