    If \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{x\,f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)\,dx}\] \[=k\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)\,dx,}\] then the value of \[k\] is

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

    B)                 \[\pi \]

    C)                 \[-\frac{\pi }{2}\]             

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{xf}({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx=k\int_{0}^{^{\pi /2}}{f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx}\]            By the property of definite integral            \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{x}f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx\]                     ?..(i)               \[=\int_{0}^{\pi }{(\pi -x)f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx}\]                       ?..(ii)            Adding (i) and (ii), we have                  \[2I=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx}\]            Þ  \[2I=2\pi \int_{0}^{\pi /2}{f\,({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx}\]            Þ  \[I=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi /2}{f({{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\tan }^{4}}x)dx}\]                 On comparing with given integral, we get \[k=\pi \].
