    \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{x\,\tan x}{\sec x+\cos x}}\,dx=\] [MNR 1985; BIT Ranchi 1986; UPSEAT 2002]

    A)                 \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{4}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{3{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}\]             

    D)                 \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Let  I =\[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{x\tan x}{\sec x+\cos x}dx}=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{(\pi -x)\tan (\pi -x)}{\sec (\pi -x)+\cos (\pi -x)}dx}\]                    It gives \[I=\frac{\pi }{2}\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{\sin x}{1+{{\cos }^{2}}x}}dx\]                                 Now put \[\cos x=t\]and solve, we get \[I=\frac{\pi }{2}\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{4}\].
