Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\quad I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log (\tan x) d x\) \(\Rightarrow \quad I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right) d x\) \(\Rightarrow \quad I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log \cot x d x\) \(\Rightarrow \quad I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log \frac{1}{\tan x} d x\)…
