    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{2}}x\,dx=}\]               [Roorkee 1983, Pb. CET 2000]

    A)                 \[1-\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    B)                 \[1+\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{\pi }{4}-1\]

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{2}}xdx=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{({{\sec }^{2}}x-1)dx}}\]                                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\sec }^{2}}xdx-\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\,\,1dx}}\]= \[[\tan x]_{0}^{\pi /4}-[x]_{0}^{\pi /4}=1-\frac{\pi }{4}\].
