Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{2}-\log 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I=\int_{0}^{1} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right) d x\)
Put \(x=\tan \theta \Rightarrow d x=\sec ^{2} \theta d \theta\)
When \(x=0, \theta=0\) and when \(x=1, \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left[\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}\right)\right]\left(1+\tan ^{2} \theta\right) \mathrm{d} \theta=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan ^{-1}\) \((\tan 2 \theta)\left(1+\tan ^{2} \theta\right) \mathrm{d} \theta\)
\(=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} 2 \theta \sec ^{2} \theta d \theta=2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \theta \sec ^{2} \theta d \theta=2[\theta \tan \theta]_{0}^{\pi / 4}-\) \(2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \tan \theta d \theta\)
\(=2\left[\frac{\pi}{4}\right]+2[\log |\cos \theta|]_{0}^{\pi / 4}=\frac{\pi}{2}+2\left[\log \left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right|\right]\)
\(=\frac{\pi}{2}+2 \log (2)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
\(=\frac{\pi}{2}-\log 2\)
