    The value of \[\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{dx}{{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}}}\] is                                  [SCRA 1980]

    A)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-e}{1+e} \right)\]     

    B)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{e-1}{e+1} \right)\]

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

    D)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}e+\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{dx}{{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}}=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{1+{{e}^{2x}}}dx}}\]            Now put \[{{e}^{x}}=t\Rightarrow {{e}^{x}}dx=dt\]                    Also as \[x=0\]to 1, \[t=1\]to e, then reduced form is                    \[\int_{1}^{e}{\frac{dt}{1+{{t}^{2}}}=[{{\tan }^{-1}}t]_{1}^{e}}={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{e-1}{e+1} \right)\],                                                             \[\left[ \because {{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x-y}{1+xy} \right) \right]\].
