$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\cos ^2 x}{\cos ^2 x+4 \sin ^2 x} d x=$

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 2$
  • B
    $-\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 3$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $-\frac{\pi}{12}+\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 2$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 4$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text {Let } I=\int \frac{\cos ^2 x}{\cos ^2 x+4 \sin ^2 x} d x \\ & =\int \frac{\cos ^2 x}{3 \sin ^2 x+1} d x=\int \frac{\sec ^2 x}{\left(\tan ^2 x+1\right)\left(4 \tan ^2 x+1\right)} d x \end{aligned}$ Let $u=\tan x \Rightarrow d u=\sec ^2 x d x$ $\begin{aligned} & I=\int \frac{d u}{\left(u^2+1\right)\left(4 u^2+1\right)}=\int\left(\frac{4 / 3}{4 u^2+1}-\frac{1 / 3}{u^2+1}\right) d u \\ & \frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1}(2 u)-\frac{1}{3} \tan ^{-1}(u)+c \end{aligned}$ Now $\int_0^{\pi / 4} \frac{\cos ^2 x}{\cos ^2 x+4 \sin ^2 x} d x=\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1}(2)-\frac{\pi}{12}$

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