    If\[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}[(3x-{{x}^{3}})/(1-3{{x}^{2}})]\]and \[g(x)={{\cos }^{-1}}[(1-{{x}^{2}})/(1+{{x}^{2}})],\] then \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{g(x)-g(a)}\left[ 0<a<\frac{1}{2} \right]\]is

    A)  \[-\frac{3}{2}\]           

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]            

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3x-{{x}^{3}}}{1-3{{x}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-3{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] and \[g(x)={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right)=2{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] \[\therefore \] \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{g(x)-g(a)}\] \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\frac{\pi }{2}-3{{\tan }^{-1}}x-\frac{\pi }{2}+3{{\tan }^{-1}}a}{2{{\tan }^{-1}}x-2{{\tan }^{-1}}a}\] \[=\frac{3}{2}\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}a}{{{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}a}\] \[=-3/2\]
