    During \[\cos ({{\tan }^{-1}}x)=\]    [MP PET 1988; MNR 1981]

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

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

    C) \[1+{{x}^{2}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      Let \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}x\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,x=\tan \theta \] \[\therefore \,\,\cos \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\] Hence\[\cos \theta =\cos \,({{\tan }^{-1}}x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\].
