    If\[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{\sqrt{(1+{{x}^{2}})}+\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{2}})}}{\sqrt{(1+{{x}^{2}})}-\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{2}})}},\]then\[\frac{dy}{dx}\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\]

    B)  \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{-x}{\sqrt{(x-{{x}^{4}})}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{x\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{1-{{x}^{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given, \[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}+\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}\] Put \[{{x}^{2}}=cos\text{ }2\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{{{\cos }^{-1}}{{x}^{2}}}{2}\] \[\therefore \]\[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+\cos 2\theta }+\sqrt{1-\cos 2\theta }}{\sqrt{1+\cos 2\theta }-\sqrt{1-\cos 2\theta }} \right)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}\cos \theta +\sqrt{2}\sin \theta }{\sqrt{2}\cos \theta -\sqrt{2}\sin \theta } \right)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1+\tan \theta }{1-\tan \theta } \right)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi }{4}+\theta  \right) \right)\] \[=\frac{\pi }{4}+\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=\frac{\pi }{4}+\frac{{{\cos }^{-1}}{{x}^{2}}}{2}\]        [from Eq. (i)] On differentiating w.r.t.\[x,\]we get \[\frac{dy}{dx}=0-\frac{1}{2}\frac{2x}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{4}}}}\] \[=-\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{4}}}}\]
