     \[y={{(\tan x)}^{{{(\tan x)}^{\tan x}}}},\] then at\[x=\frac{\pi }{4}\], the value of \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\]             [WB JEE 1990]

    A)            0

    B)            1

    C)            2

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\log y={{(\tan x)}^{\tan x}}\log \tan x\]  .....(i)            Taking \[\log \]again, we get from (i)            \[\log (\log y)=\tan x\log \tan x+\log (\log \tan x)\]            Differentiating w.r.t. x, \[\frac{1}{\log y}.\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}\]            \[={{\sec }^{2}}x\log \tan x+\tan x.\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x}{\tan x}+\frac{1}{\log \tan x}.\frac{1}{\tan x}.{{\sec }^{2}}x\]            \[\therefore \frac{dy}{dx}=y\log y{{\sec }^{2}}x.\left[ \log \tan x+1+\frac{1}{\tan x\log \tan x} \right]\]                    \[=y{{(\tan x)}^{\tan x}}\log \tan x.{{\sec }^{2}}x\] \[\left[ (\log \tan x+1)+\frac{1}{\tan x\log \tan x} \right]\]                  \[=y{{(\tan x)}^{\tan x}}{{\sec }^{2}}x\left[ \log \tan x(\log \tan x+1)+\cot x \right]\]            Now at \[x=\frac{\pi }{4},\ \ y=1,\ \ \log \tan \left( \frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\log 1=0\]            \[\therefore \frac{dy}{dx}=1.1.2[0+1]=2\].
