    The derivative of\[f(tan\text{ }x)\]w.r.t.\[g(sec\text{ }x)\]at \[x=\pi /4\]where\[f(1)=2\]and\[g(\sqrt{2})=4\]is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                                    

    B)  \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)  \[1\]                                    

    D)  \[2\]

    E)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let\[u=f(\tan x)\]and\[v=g(\sec x)\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{du}{dx}=f(\tan x).{{\sec }^{2}}x\] and     \[\frac{dv}{dx}=g(\sec x).\sec x\tan x\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{du}{dv}=\frac{du/dx}{dv/dx}\]                                 \[=\frac{f(\tan x).{{\sec }^{2}}x}{g(\sec x).\sec x\tan x}\]                 \[=\frac{f(\tan x)\sec x}{g(\sec x)\tan x}\] At           \[x=\frac{\pi }{4},\]\[\frac{du}{dv}=\frac{f(1)\sec \frac{\pi }{4}}{g(\sqrt{2})\tan \frac{\pi }{4}}\]                 \[=\frac{2\times \sqrt{2}}{4\times 1}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
