[Karnataka CET 1999]

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{2}-2\log \sqrt{2} $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{2}+2\log \sqrt{2} $

C) $ \frac{\pi }{4}-\log \sqrt{2} $

D) $ \frac{\pi }{4}+\log \sqrt{2} $

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Put $ x=\tan \theta , $
$ \therefore $ $ dx={{\sec }^{2}}\theta d\theta $

As $ x=1\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{4} $ and $ x=0\Rightarrow \theta =0 $ , then $ I=2\int_0^{\pi /4}{\theta {{\sec }^{2}}\theta d\theta =2[\theta \tan \theta ]_0^{\pi /4}-2\int_0^{\pi /4}{\tan \theta d\theta }} $

= $ \frac{\pi }{2}+2[\log \cos x]_0^{\pi /4}=\frac{\pi }{2}-2\log \sqrt{2} $ .
