Solution

The correct option is A


We now know how to differentiate sin x and x24, but how do we differentiate a composite like sin(x24)? the answer is, with the Chain Rule, which says that the derivatives of the composite of two differentiable fuctions is the product of their derivatives evaluated at appropriate points. The Chain Rule is probably the most used differentiation rule in mathematics.

Let u=x24
Then y=sin u
We know the differentiation of u w.r.t x and differentiation of y w.r.t u.
dudx=2x & dydu=cos u we can write dydx=dydu.dudx
dydx=(cos u).(2x)=2x.cos(x24)
