The correct answer is:
$\frac{y}{x}$
Given $\sin \left(\frac{x+y}{x-y}\right)=\tan \frac{\pi}{5}$
$\therefore \frac{x+y}{x-y}=\sin ^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{5}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{x+y}{x-y}=K \quad \ldots$ say ...(1)
$\therefore x+y=K(x-y)$
$\quad 1+\frac{d y}{d x}=K\left(1-\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \Rightarrow 1+\frac{d y}{d x}=K-K \frac{d y}{d x}$
$(1+K) \frac{d y}{d x}=K-1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{K-1}{K+1}$
$\begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x} &=\frac{\frac{x+y}{x-y}-1}{\frac{x+y}{x-y}+1} \quad[\ldots \text { From (1) }] \\ &=\frac{x+y-x+y}{x+y+x-y}=\frac{2 y}{2 x}=\frac{y}{x} \end{aligned}$
This problem can also be solved as follow:
$\frac{x+y}{x-y}=\sin ^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{5}\right)$
Differentiating w.r.t. $\mathrm{x}$, we get
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{(x-y)\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right)-(x+y)\left(1-\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}{(x-y)^{2}}=0 \\
\therefore &\left(x-y+x \frac{d y}{d x}-y \frac{d y}{d x}\right)-\left(x+y-x \frac{d y}{d x}-y \frac{d y}{d x}\right)=0 \\
\therefore &-2 y+2 x \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y}{x}
\end{aligned}$
