  1. A \(\pm \frac{\pi}{3}\)
  2. B \(\pm \frac{\pi}{6}\)
  3. C \(\pm \frac{\pi}{4}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\pm \frac{\pi}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text {} y=\tan ^{-1}(\sin \sqrt{x}) \\ & \Rightarrow \tan y=\sin \sqrt{x} \Rightarrow \sec ^2 y \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cos \sqrt{x} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\cos \sqrt{x}}{2 \sqrt{x} \sec ^2 y} \end{aligned}…
