    If\[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x} \right)\], then\[y'(0)\]is

    A) \[1/2\]                                 

    B) \[0\]

    C) \[1\]                                     

    D)  does not exist

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,\[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x} \right)\] Putting\[x=\tan \theta \], we get \[\frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x}=\frac{\sec \theta -1}{\tan \theta }=\frac{1-\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }=\tan \frac{\theta }{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[y=\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]       \[y'=\frac{1}{2(1+{{x}^{2}})}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[y'(0)=\frac{1}{2(1+{{0}^{2}})}=\frac{1}{2}\]
