  • A
    1
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\pi$
  • C
    e
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Solution

Let $I=\int_{\pi / 2}^{5 \pi / 2} \frac{e^{\tan ^{-1}}(\sin x)}{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}+e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}} d x$ $=\int_{0}^{5 \pi / 2} \frac{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}}{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}+e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}} d x$ $-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{e^{\tan ^{-1}}(\sin x)}{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}+e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}} d x \ldots(\mathrm{i}$ $I=\int_{0}^{5 \pi / 2} \frac{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}}{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}+e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}} d x$ $\quad-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{e^{\tan ^{-1}}(\cos x)}{e^{\tan ^{-1}(\cos x)}+e^{\tan ^{-1}(\sin x)}} d x \ldots$ (ii) $\quad\left[\right.$ using, $\left.\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x=\int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) d x\right]$ On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $$ \begin{array}{l} 2 I=\int_{0}^{5 \pi / 2} d x-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} d x \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 I=(x)_{0}^{5 \pi / 2}-(x)_{0}^{\mathrm{v} / 2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 I=\frac{5 \pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{2}=2 \pi \quad \Rightarrow \quad I=\pi \end{array} $$

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