1. Introduction
Let A be the class of analytic functions of the form

in the unit disc
.
Let S be the class of functions
and univalent in E.
Let U be the class of Schwarz functions
which are analytic in the unit disc
and satisfying the conditions
and 
Let f and g be two analytic functions in E. Then f is said to be subordinate to g (symbolically
if there exists a Schwarz function
, such that 
denotes the subclass of functions in
satisfying the condition

In particular,
, the class studied by Murugusundramurthi and Magesh [9]. Also
, the class introduced and studied by Goel and Mehrok [1] and
, the class of functions whose derivative has a positive real part introduced and studied by MacGregor [7].
In 1976, Noonan and Thomas [10] stated the qth Hankel determinant of

and
as

For our discussion in this paper, we consider the Hankel determinant in the case of

, known as the second Hankel determinant:

2. Preliminary Results
Let P be the family of all functions p analytic in E for which

where
 | (3.3) |
Define the function
by
 | (3.4) |
Since
is a Schwarz function, we see that
and
Define the function
by
 | (3.5) |
In view of the equations (3.2), (3.4) and (3.5), we have
Thus,
 | (3.6) |
Using (3.3) and (3.5) in (3.6), we obtain
 | (3.7) |
(3.7) yields,
 | (3.8) |
where
.
Using Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2 in (3.8), we obtain
Assume that

, using triangular inequality and
, we have

Therefore
Consequently, we get

where
So
where
Now
and
So
Hence from (3.9), we obtain (3.1).

Putting

and
in Theorem 3.1, we obtain the following result due to Janteng et al. [2].
