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

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. $\frac{1}{2}$
  2. 2
  3. $-\frac{1}{2}$
  4. -2

Solution

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