MCQ
Differential coefficient of $\sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}} \sec \sqrt{x} \sin \sqrt{x}$
  • $\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}}(\sec \sqrt{x})^{3 / 2} \cdot \sin \sqrt{x}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x} \sec \sqrt{x} \sin \sqrt{x}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x}(\sec \sqrt{x})^{3 / 2} \cdot \sin \sqrt{x}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}}(\sec \sqrt{x})^{3 / 2} \cdot \sin \sqrt{x}$
Let $y=\sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}}$
Differentiating $\text{w.r.t. x}$, we get
$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{\sec \sqrt{x}}} \cdot \sec \sqrt{x} \cdot \tan \sqrt{x} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$
$=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}}(\sec \sqrt{x})^{1 / 2} \frac{\sin \sqrt{x}}{\cos \sqrt{x}}$
$=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}}(\sec \sqrt{x})^{3 / 2} \cdot \sin \sqrt{x}$
