If 1−x2+1−y2=a(x−y)\sqrt{1-x^2} + \sqrt{1-y^2} = a(x-y), then dydx=\frac{dy}{dx} =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Let x=sin⁡α,y=sin⁡βx = \sin\alpha, y = \sin\beta. The equation becomes cos⁡α+cos⁡β=a(sin⁡α−sin⁡β)\cos\alpha + \cos\beta = a(\sin\alpha - \sin\beta). Using sum-to-product, this simplifies to cot⁡α−β2=a\cot\frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} = a. So sin⁡−1x−sin⁡−1y=\sin^{-1}x - \sin^{-1}y = constant. Differentiating: 11−x2−11−y2dydx=0\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0, giving dydx=1−y21−x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{\frac{1-y^2}{1-x^2}}.
