    The value of\[\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log (1+\tan x)dx}\]is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\pi \log 8\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{4}\pi \log 2\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{8}\pi \log 2\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{4}\pi \log 8\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log (1+\tan x)}dx\]             ...(i) \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log \left( 1+\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-x \right) \right)dx}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log \left( 1+\frac{\tan \frac{\pi }{4}-\tan x}{1+\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{4} \right)\tan x} \right)dx}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log \left( 1+\frac{1-\tan x}{1+\tan x} \right)dx}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log \left( \frac{1+\tan x+1-\tan x}{1+\tan x} \right)dx}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log \left( \frac{2}{1+\tan x} \right)dx}\] \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log 2dx}-\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\log (1+\tan x)}dx\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[I=[\log 2.x]_{0}^{\pi /4}-I\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2I=\frac{\pi }{4}\log 2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[I=\frac{\pi }{8}\log 2\]
