Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \log (\sqrt{2}+1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin ^2 x}{\sin x+\cos x} d x\) ...(i) On applying property \(\int_0^a f(x) d x=\int_0^a f(a-x) d x\), we get, \(I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos ^2 x}{\cos x+\sin x} d x\) ...(ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get…
