    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}x{{(1-\tan x)}^{2}}}dx=}\]

    A)            \[\frac{1}{\tan x-1}+c\]

    B)            \[\frac{1}{1-\tan x}+c\]

    C)            \[-\frac{1}{3}\frac{1}{{{(1-\tan x)}^{3}}}+c\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}x{{(1-\tan x)}^{2}}}dx=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx}{{{(\tan x-1)}^{2}}}}}\]            Put \[\tan x-1=t\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx=dt,\] then it reduces to            \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{1}{{{t}^{2}}}\,dt}=\frac{-1}{\tan x-1}+c=\frac{1}{1-\tan x}+c.\]
