    \[\frac{d}{dx}\left[ a\,{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right) \right]=\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}+1}\]\[\Rightarrow a-2b\] is equal to

    A)  1                

    B)  -1

    C)  0                

    D)  2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[\frac{d}{dx}\left[ a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right) \right]=\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}-1}\] On integrating both sides, we get \[a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\int{\left[ \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}-1}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}+1} \right]}\,dx\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a{{\tan }^{-1}}x+b\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{4}\log \left( \frac{x-1}{x+1} \right)-\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=-\frac{1}{2},\]  \[b=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \] \[a-2b=-\frac{1}{2}-2\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)=-1\]
