Give function is
$f(x)=2 \sqrt { \cot ( x^2 )}$
Let's take $t = x^2$
$f(t) = 2\sqrt\cot t$
Now, take $\cot t = k^2$
$f(k) = 2k$
Differentiation w.r.t. x
$\frac{d(f(k))}{dx} = \frac{d(f(k))}{dk}.\frac{dk}{dt}.\frac{dt}{dx}$ -(By chain rule)
$\frac{d(f(k))}{dk} = \frac{d(2k)}{dk} = 2$
$\frac{dk}{dt} = \frac{d(\sqrt{\cot t})}{dt} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{cot t}}.(-cosec^2 t) = \frac{-cosec^2 x^2}{2\sqrt{cot x^2}} \ \ \ (\because t = x^2)$
$\frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{d(x^2)}{dx} = 2x$
So,
$\frac{d(f(k))}{dx} = 2.\frac{-cosec^2 x^2}{2\sqrt{cot x^2}}.2x = \frac{-2\sqrt2x}{\sin^2x^2\sqrt{\frac{2\sin x^2\cos x^2}{\sin^2x^2}} }$ ( Multiply and divide by $\sqrt 2$ and multiply and divide $\sqrt {\cot x^2}$ by $\sqrt{\sin x^2$ )
$(\because \cot x = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \ and \ cosec x = \frac{1}{\sin x } )$
$=\frac{-2\sqrt2x}{\sin x^2\sqrt{\sin2x^2}} \ \ \ \ (\because 2\sin x\cos x=\sin2x)$
There, the answer is $\frac{-2\sqrt2x}{\sin x^2\sqrt{\sin2x^2}}$
