Q128 / 200 · WBJEE 2014 · Mathematics

Suppose $M=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos x}{x+2} d x$ $N=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(x+1)^{2}} d x$ Then, the value of $(M-N)$ equals

  • A
    $\frac{3}{\pi+2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\pi-4}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{\pi-2}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{2}{\pi+4}$

Solution

Given, $M=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos x}{(x+2)} d x$ and $\quad N=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{4}} \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(x+1)^{2}} d x$ $\Rightarrow \quad N=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{1}{2} \frac{\sin 2 x}{(x+1)^{2}} d x$ Put $2 x=t \Rightarrow d x=\frac{d t}{2}$ $\begin{aligned} N &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin t}{4\left(\frac{t}{2}+1\right)^{2}} d t \\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin t}{(t+2)^{2}} d t \\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin x}{(x+2)^{2}} d x \end{aligned}$ $M-N=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos x \times \frac{1}{(x+2)} d x$ $=\left[\frac{\sin x}{x+2}\right]_{0}^{\pi / 2}-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}-\frac{\sin x}{(x+2)^{2}} d x$ $-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin x}{(x+2)^{2}} d x$ $=\frac{\sin \frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{2}+2}=\frac{1}{\frac{\pi+4}{2}}=\frac{2}{\pi+4}$

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