    The 2nd derivative of \[a{{\sin }^{3}}t\] with respect to \[a{{\cos }^{3}}t\,\,\text{at}\,\,t=\frac{\pi }{4}\]  is                                [Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

    A)            \[\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3a}\]

    B)            2

    C)            \[\frac{1}{12a}\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Let \[u={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}},\] and \[{{y}'}'=a{{e}^{x}}+b{{e}^{-x}}\], then                    \[y'=\frac{-\,a\sin (\log x)}{x}+\frac{b\cos (\log x)}{x}\].            Again diff. w.r.t. x, we get            \[y={{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}(\alpha +\beta )+2\sin \alpha \sin \beta \cos (\alpha +\beta )\]= \[\frac{1}{3a}\,\left( \frac{{{\sec }^{4}}t}{\sin t} \right)\]                    \[\therefore \,\,{{\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}} \right)}_{t=\pi /4}}=\frac{1}{3a}.\frac{4}{1/\sqrt{2}}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3a}\].
