If $\int \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x(x+1)} d x=k \tan ^{-1} m+c$, (where $c$ is constant of integration), then

  • A
    $\mathrm{k}=1, \mathrm{~m}=\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{k}=2, \mathrm{~m}=\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{k}=1, \mathrm{~m}=\mathrm{x}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{k}=2, \mathrm{~m}=\mathrm{x}$

Solution

$$ I=\int \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x(x+1)} d x $$ Put $x \tan ^2 \theta \Rightarrow d x=2 \tan \theta \sec ^2 \theta d \theta$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore I=\int \frac{\tan \theta\left(2 \tan \theta \sec ^2 \theta\right)}{\tan ^2 \theta(1+\tan \theta)} d \theta \\ & =2 \int \frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{\sec ^2 \theta} d \theta=2 \int d \theta=2 \theta \\ & =2 \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x}+c \end{aligned} $$ Comparing with given data, $\mathrm{k}=2, \mathrm{~m}=\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}$

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