    The function\[f(x)={{\tan }^{-1}}(\sin x+\cos x),\]\[x>0\]is always an increasing function on the interval:

    A)  \[(0,\pi )\]

    B)                         \[\left( 0,\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]

    C)  \[\left( 0,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]

    D)         \[\left( 0,\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)\]

    E)  \[\left( 0,\frac{5\pi }{4} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\because \] \[f(x)={{\tan }^{-1}}(\sin x+\cos x)\] On differentiating w.r.t.\[x,\]we get \[f(x)=\frac{1}{1+{{(\sin x+\cos x)}^{2}}}(\cos x-\sin x)\]                 \[=\frac{1}{1+1+2\sin x\cos x}(\cos x-\sin x)\]                 \[=\frac{\cos x-\sin x}{2(1+\sin x\cos x)}\] For function to be increasing                 \[f(x)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos x-\sin x>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan x<1\] \[\therefore \]Required interval\[=\left( 0,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]
