If $\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x}=5$, then $\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)=$

If $\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x}=5$, then $\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)=$
  1. $\frac{2}{25}$
  2. $\frac{2}{5}$
  3. $\frac{-2}{5}$
  4. $\frac{-2}{25}$

Solution

Given $\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x}=5 \Rightarrow \sqrt{y-x}=5-\sqrt{x+y}$ On squaring both side, we get $y-x=25+x+y-10 \sqrt{x+y} \Rightarrow 10 \sqrt{x+y}-2 x=25$ Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, $10 \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+y}}\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right)-2 \times 1=0 \Rightarrow \frac{5}{\sqrt{x+y}}\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=2$ $\therefore 1+\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 \sqrt{x+y}}{5}....(1)$ Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, $\begin{aligned} \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} &=\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+y}}\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=\frac{1}{5 \sqrt{x+y}} \times \frac{2 \sqrt{x+y}}{5} \quad \ldots[\because \text { From (1) }] \\ &=\frac{2}{25} \end{aligned}$
