Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\log _e 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { The required area }=2\left[\frac{\pi}{4}-\int_0^1 \tan ^{-1} x d x\right] \\ & \quad=\frac{\pi}{2}-2 \int_0^1 \tan ^{-1} x d x \\ & \left.\quad=\frac{\pi}{2}-2\left[x \tan ^{-1} x\right)_0^1-\int_0^1 \frac{x}{1+x^2} d x\right] \\ &…
