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

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

    B)        \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)  1                            

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let\[y=f(\tan x)\]and\[u=g(\sec x)\] On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}=f(\tan x){{\sec }^{2}}x\] and        \[\frac{du}{dx}=g(\sec x)\cdot \sec x\tan x\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{dy}{du}-\frac{dy/dx}{du/dx}=\frac{f(\tan x){{\sec }^{2}}x}{g(\sec x)\sec x\tan x}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{x=\pi /4}}=\frac{f\left( \tan \frac{\pi }{4} \right)}{g\left( \sec \frac{\pi }{4} \right)\sin \frac{\pi }{4}}\]                 \[=\frac{f(1)\cdot \sqrt{2}}{g(\sqrt{2})}=\frac{2\cdot \sqrt{2}}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
