    \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{dx}{({{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})}}\] is

    A) \[\frac{\pi ab}{a+b}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{2(a+b)}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{2ab(a+b)}\]

    D) \[\frac{\pi (a+b)}{2ab}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{dx}{({{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})}}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{({{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})-({{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}})}{({{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})}}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{\left[ \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}} \right]dx}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}\left[ \frac{1}{a}{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{x}{a}-\frac{1}{b}{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{x}{b} \right]_{0}^{\infty }\] \[=\frac{1}{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}\left[ \frac{\pi }{2a}-\frac{x}{2b} \right]=\frac{\pi }{2ab(a+b)}\]
