    The value of  the integral \[\int_{-1}^{1}{\frac{d}{dx}\left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{x} \right)}\,dx\] is

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

    B)                 \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

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

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[\int_{-1}^{1}{\frac{d}{dx}}\left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{x} \right)\,dx=-2[{{\tan }^{-1}}(x)]_{0}^{1}=-\frac{\pi }{2}\].
