    If \[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{\frac{a-x}{a+x}}\], then \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\]

    A)            \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}\]

    B)            \[-{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Putting \[x=a\cos \theta \Rightarrow \theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}\]                    \[y={{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }}=\frac{\theta }{2}=\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}\]                    Þ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}}}.\frac{1}{a}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}\].
