  2. B.$$\frac{\pi}{12}$$
  3. C.$$\frac{\pi}{3}$$
  4. D.$$\frac{\pi}{4}$$correct

Answer

D. $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \sec y \frac{d y}{d x}+2 x \sin y=x^3 \cos y \\ & \Rightarrow \sec ^2 y \frac{d y}{d x}+2 x \tan y=x^3 \end{aligned}$$ Let $$z=\tan y$$ $$\begin{aligned} & \frac{d z}{d x}=\sec ^2 y \frac{d y}{d x} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d z}{d x}+2 x z=x^3 \end{aligned}$$ $$\begin{aligned} & \text { I.F. }=e^{x^2} \\ & \Rightarrow z . e^{x^2}=\int e^{x^2} \cdot x^3 d x+c \end{aligned}$$ $$\Rightarrow \tan y \cdot e^{x^2}=\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2 e^{x^2}-e^{x^2}\right)+c$$ $$\Rightarrow \tan (0) \cdot e=\frac{1}{2}(1 \cdot e-e)+c$$ $$\Rightarrow c=0$$ $$\Rightarrow \tan y=\frac{x^2-1}{2}$$ $$f(x)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2-1}{2}\right) \Rightarrow f(\sqrt{3})=\frac{\pi}{4}$$
