    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{(1+{{e}^{x}})(2+{{e}^{x}})}dx=}\]

    A)                 \[\log [(1+{{e}^{x}})(2+{{e}^{x}})]+c\]

    B)                 \[\log \left[ \frac{1+{{e}^{x}}}{2+{{e}^{x}}} \right]+c\]

    C)                 \[\log [(1+{{e}^{x}})\sqrt{2+{{e}^{x}}}]+c\]

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{(1+{{e}^{x}})(2+{{e}^{x}})}\,dx}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\left\{ \frac{{{e}^{x}}}{1+{{e}^{x}}}-\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{2+{{e}^{x}}} \right\}dx}\]                 Now put \[1+{{e}^{x}}=t\] and \[2+{{e}^{x}}=t,\] then the required integral \[=\log (1+{{e}^{x}})-\log (2+{{e}^{x}})=\log \left( \frac{1+{{e}^{x}}}{2+{{e}^{x}}} \right)+c.\]
