    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{\sin x\cos x\,dx}{{{\cos }^{2}}x+3\cos x+2}}=\]                                 [MNR 1981]

    A)                 \[\log \left( \frac{8}{9} \right)\]

    B)                 \[\log \left( \frac{9}{8} \right)\]

    C)                 \[\log (8\times 9)\]        

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{\sin x\cos x.dx}{{{\cos }^{2}}x+3\cos x+2}}\]            We put \[\cos x=t\Rightarrow -\sin x\,dx=dt,\]then            \[I=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{t.dt}{{{t}^{2}}+3t+2}=\int_{0}^{1}{\left[ \frac{2}{t+2}-\frac{1}{t+1} \right]}}\,dt\]              \[=[2\log (t+2)-\log (\,t+1)]_{0}^{1}\]\[=[2\log 3-\log 2-2\log 2]\]                   \[=[2\log 3-3\log 2]=[\log 9-\log 8]=\log \left( \frac{9}{8} \right)\].
