If \(x^2 y^2=\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x\), then \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\) at \(x=1\) and \(y=2\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B 2
  3. C \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D -2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& x^2 y^2 \\
& = \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{aligned}\)
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& 2 x y^2+2 y x^2 \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \\
\therefore & \left.\frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{d x}\right|_{(1,2)}=-2
\end{aligned}\)
