Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{4+3 \cos x}\)
Put \(\tan \frac{x}{2}=\mathrm{t}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{d} x=\frac{2 \mathrm{dt}}{1+\mathrm{t}^2}\) and \(\cos x=\frac{1-\mathrm{t}^2}{1+\mathrm{t}^2}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{4+3 \cos x} =\int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \mathrm{dt}}{7+\mathrm{t}^2} \)
\( =\left[\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\sqrt{7}}\right)\right]_0^{\infty} \)
\( =\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}\left[\tan ^{-1} \infty-0\right] \)
\( =\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{7}}\)
