Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x = \tan\theta\). \(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{2x}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{2\tan\theta}\right) = \tan^{-1}(\cot(2\theta)) = \tan^{-1}\left(\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-2\theta\right)\right) = \frac{\pi}{2}-2\theta\)
