Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion: $\text{u}=\text{f}(\cot\text{x})\&\text{f}(1)=\sqrt2$ and $\text{g}(\sqrt{2})=2$ then $\Big(\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}\Big)_{\text{x}=\frac{\text{x}}{4}}=1.$
