    If\[\alpha \in \left[ 0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\], then\[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}+\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}}\]is always greater than or equal to

    A) \[2\tan \alpha \]                              

    B) \[1\]

    C) \[2\]                     

    D)        \[{{\sec }^{2}}\alpha \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here,\[\alpha \in \left[ 0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]  \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan \alpha \]is\[(+ve)\] As, we know, if\[a,\,\,b>0\Rightarrow \frac{a+b}{2}\ge \sqrt{ab}\] i.e.,        \[AM\ge GM\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}+\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}}}{2}\ge \sqrt{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}\cdot \frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}}}\]                                                 (using\[AM\ge GM\]) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}+\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+x}}\ge 2\tan \alpha \]
