The correct answer is: 2
\(\begin{aligned}
& \int_{\sqrt{2}}^x \frac{d t}{|t| \sqrt{t^2-1}}=\frac{\pi}{12} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad\left[\sec ^{-1} t\right]_{\sqrt{2}}^x=\frac{\pi}{12} \Rightarrow \sec ^{-1} x-\sec ^{-1} \sqrt{2}=\frac{\pi}{12} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \sec ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{12}+\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x=\sec \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=2
\end{aligned}\)
