Q36 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (09 Apr Online) · Mathematics

If 2∫01tan-1xdx=∫01cot-11-x+x2dx, then ∫01tan-11-x+x2dx is equal to

  • A
    π2+ln2
  • Correct answer
    B
    ln2
  • C
    π2-ln4
  • D
    ln4

Solution

From the given equation

2∫01tan-1⁡xdx= ∫01π2-tan-1⁡1-x+x2dx

⇒2∫01tan-1⁡xdx= ∫01π2 dx- ∫01tan-1⁡1-x+x2dx
 ⇒∫01tan-1⁡1-x+x2dx=π2-2 ∫01tan-1⁡xdx    …i         
Let I1= ∫01tan-1⁡xdx

=tan-1⁡xx01-∫0111+x2xdx

=π4- ∫01x1+x2dx

=π4-12 ∫012x1+x2dx

=π4-12 ln1+x201

=π4-12ln⁡2

By equation i,

∫01tan-1⁡1-x+x2dx= π2-2π4-12ln2=ln⁡2 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
