    \[\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)=\]

    A) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}\sqrt{x}\]

    B) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{x}\]

    C) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}x\]

    D) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}x\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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