    \[\int_{\pi /4}^{\pi /2}{\cos \theta \,\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\theta \,d\theta =}\]                                         [Roorkee 1978]

    A)                 \[\sqrt{2}-1\]    

    B)                 \[1-\sqrt{2}\]

    C)                 \[\sqrt{2}+1\]   

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Let \[\int_{\pi /4}^{\pi /2}{\cos \theta \frac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }d\theta }\]            Put \[t=\sin \theta \Rightarrow dt=\cos \theta \,\,d\theta ,\] then we have                 \[\int_{1/\sqrt{2}}^{1}{\frac{1}{{{t}^{2}}}dt}=\left[ \frac{-1}{t} \right]_{1/\sqrt{2}}^{1}=\sqrt{2}-1\].
