    If \[x=\sec \theta -\cos \theta \]and \[y={{\sec }^{n}}\theta -{{\cos }^{n}}\theta ,\]then \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}\]is

    A) \[\frac{{{n}^{2}}({{y}^{2}}+4)}{{{x}^{2}}+4}\]                   

    B)         \[\frac{{{n}^{2}}({{y}^{2}}-4)}{{{x}^{2}}}\]                       

    C)         \[n\frac{({{y}^{2}}-4)}{{{x}^{2}}-4}\]                

    D)         \[{{\left( \frac{ny}{x} \right)}^{2}}-4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Differentiate given equations w.r.t. \[\theta ,\]we get \[\frac{dy}{d\theta }=n{{\sec }^{n-1}}\theta .\sec \theta .\tan \theta \] \[-n.{{\cos }^{n-1}}\theta (-sin\theta )\]                 \[=\tan \theta (se{{c}^{2}}\theta +co{{s}^{n}}\theta )\] \[\frac{dx}{d\theta }=\sec \theta \tan \theta +\sin \theta =\tan \theta (sec\theta +cos\theta )\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{n\tan \theta (se{{c}^{n}}\theta +{{\cos }^{n}}\theta )}{\tan \theta (sec\theta +cos\theta )}\] \[=\frac{n(se{{c}^{n}}\theta +{{\cos }^{n}}\theta )}{(sec\theta +cos\theta )}\]                 \[\therefore \]      \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}{{(se{{c}^{n}}\theta +co{{s}^{n}}\theta )}^{2}}}{{{(sec\theta +cos\theta )}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{n}^{2}}\{{{(se{{c}^{n}}\theta -co{{s}^{n}}\theta )}^{2}}+4\}}{{{(sec\theta -\cos \theta )}^{2}}+4}\] \[=\frac{{{n}^{2}}({{y}^{2}}+4)}{({{x}^{2}}+4)}\]
