Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{-\cot 2 x+c}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } I=\int \frac{1}{1-\cos 4 x} d x \\ & I=\int \frac{1}{2 \sin ^2 2 x} d x \quad\left[\because 1-\cos 2 \theta=2 \sin ^2 \theta\right] \\ & \quad I=\frac{1}{2} \int \operatorname{cosec}^2 2 x d x\end{aligned}\)…
