Correct answer: C
Let y= an^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}-1}{x}\right),\qquad z= an^{-1}\left(\frac{2x\sqrt{1-x^2}}{1-2x^2}\right). We need
1. Simplify the first expression
Consider Rationalizing,
=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}+1}.$$ Now use the identity $$\tan\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\frac{\sin\theta}{1+\cos\theta}.$$ If we put $x=\tan\theta$, then $$\sin\theta=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}},\qquad \cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}.$$ Hence $$\tan\left(\frac\theta2\right)=\frac{\sin\theta}{1+\cos\theta} =\frac{x/\sqrt{1+x^2}}{1+1/\sqrt{1+x^2}} =\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}+1}.Therefore, So, for the relevant principal values.
Thus,
At ,
2. Simplify the second expression
Now Use the identity Let Then and
So the given quantity is where .
But if , then so (principal values). Hence Therefore, At , which lies in the principal range of , so locally Thus,
At ,
3. Compute
Now,
4. Match with options
corresponds to Option C.
5. Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Our derived answer also gives C, so it agrees.
