    If \[f(x)\,={{\cot }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3x-{{x}^{3}}}{1-3{{x}^{2}}} \right)\]  and x\[g(x)={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right)\], then \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{g(x)\,-g(a)},\] \[0<\,a<\frac{1}{2}\] is [Orissa JEE 2002]

    A)                 \[\frac{3}{2(1+{{a}^{2}})}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{3}{2(1+{{x}^{2}})}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    D)                 \[-\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{3x-{{x}^{3}}}{1-3{{x}^{2}}} \right\}\] and \[g(x)={{\cos }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right\}\]            Put \[x=\tan \theta \] in both equations            \[f(\theta )={{\cot }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{3\tan \theta -{{\tan }^{3}}\theta }{1-3{{\tan }^{2}}\theta } \right\}\]\[={{\cot }^{-1}}\left\{ \tan 3\theta  \right\}\]            \[f(\theta )={{\cot }^{-1}}\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-3\theta  \right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-3\theta \Rightarrow {f}'(\theta )=-3\]    .?.(i)            and \[g(\theta )={{\cos }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta } \right\}\]\[={{\cos }^{-1}}(\cos 2\theta )=2\theta \]            \[\Rightarrow {g}'(\theta )=2\]                                                             ?..(ii)            Now \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{g(x)-g(a)} \right)=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a} \right)\frac{1}{\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{g(x)-g(a)}{x-a} \right)}\]                                                        \[={f}'(x).\frac{1}{{g}'(x)}=-3\times \frac{1}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}\].
