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

    A)                 \[{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)\] 

    B)                 \[{{\log }_{e}}3\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{2}{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\]            

    D)                 \[{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Put \[1+\tan x=t\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx=dt\]                    \[\therefore \,\,\,\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)}dx}\]                    \[=\int_{1}^{2}{\frac{dt}{t(1+t)}}=\int_{1}^{2}{\frac{dt}{t}-\int_{1}^{2}{\frac{dt}{1+t}}}=[\log t-\log (1+t)]_{1}^{2}\]                                 \[={{\log }_{e}}2-{{\log }_{e}}3+{{\log }_{e}}2={{\log }_{e}}\frac{4}{3}\].
