    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\frac{4\sin 2\theta \,d\theta }{{{\sin }^{4}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta }}=\]                                   [SCRA 1986]

    A)                 \[\pi /4\]             

    B)                 \[\pi /2\]

    C)                 \[\pi \] 

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[4\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\frac{\sin 2\theta \,d\theta }{{{\sin }^{4}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta }=4\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\frac{2\sin \theta \cos \theta \,d\theta }{{{\sin }^{4}}\theta +{{\cos }^{4}}\theta }}}\]                                                     \[=4\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\frac{2\tan \theta {{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta }{{{\tan }^{4}}\theta +1}}\]            {Dividing numerator and denominator by \[{{\cos }^{4}}\theta \]}                 Now put \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =t\Rightarrow 2\tan \theta {{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta =dt\], then the reduced form is \[4\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{dt}{{{t}^{2}}+1}}=4[{{\tan }^{-1}}t]_{0}^{1}=4\left[ \frac{1}{4}\pi -0 \right]=\pi \].
