Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\tan t\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ x=a\left(\cos t+\log \tan \frac{t}{2}\right) \] Now, \(\frac{d x}{d t}=a\left\{-\sin t+\frac{1}{\tan \frac{t}{2}} \cdot \sec ^{2} \frac{t}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right\}\) \[ =a\left\{-\sin t+\frac{1}{\sin t}\right\} \]…
