If $x=\sin \theta, y=\sin ^3 \theta$, then $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}$ at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
  1. 0
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 6

Solution

$\begin{array}{ll} & x=\sin \theta \text { and } y=\sin ^3 \theta \\ \therefore \quad & y=x^3 \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=3 x^2 \\ \therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{~d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}=6 x \\ & \text { At } \theta=\frac{\pi}{2}, x=\sin \frac{\pi}{2}=1 \\ \therefore \quad & \left(\frac{\mathrm{~d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}\right)_{\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}\right)_{x=1}=6(1)=6\end{array}$
