    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \theta }}\]is equal to

    A)  \[\pi \]

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

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

    D)         \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \theta }}=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\theta  \right)}}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\cot \theta }}\] On adding, we get \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\left( \frac{1}{1+\tan \theta }+\frac{1}{1+\cot \theta } \right)d\theta }\]                 \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{d\theta =[\theta ]_{0}^{\pi /2}}=\frac{\pi }{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\frac{\pi }{4}\]
