  • \(0\)
  • \(1\)
  • \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Half angle trick
Write $\sqrt{\dfrac{1 + \sin 2x}{1 - \sin 2x}} = \dfrac{1 + \tan x}{1 - \tan x}$ after dividing by $\cos x$.

Step 2: Recognise
This is $\tan(\pi/4 + x)$, and $\pi/4 + \pi/6 = 5\pi/12$ is in the principal range.

Step 3: Differentiate
$y = \pi/4 + x$ so $y' = 1$. Option (B).

Final Answer:
Option (B). \[ \boxed{1} \]
