    \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{xdx}{1+\sin x}}\]is equal to                                            [UPSEAT 2004]

    A)                 \[-\pi \]

    B)                 \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C)                 \[\pi \] 

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Let,  \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{xdx}{1+\sin x}}\] ?..(i)                    \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{(\pi -x)dx}{1+\sin (\pi -x)}}\]                    \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{(\pi -x)dx}{1+\sin x}}\]                  ?.. (ii), \[\left\{ \because \,\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)\,dx}=\int_{0}^{a}{f(a-x)\,dx} \right\}\,\]                    Adding (i) and (ii), we get \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{\pi \,dx}{1+\sin x}}\]                    \[2I=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{1-\sin x}{(1+\sin x)(1-\sin x)}dx}\]                    \[2I=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{1-\sin x}{{{\cos }^{2}}x}}dx=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi }{({{\sec }^{2}}x-\sec x\tan x)dx}\]                    \[2I=\pi [\tan x-\sec x]_{0}^{\pi }=\pi [0-(-1)-(0-1)]\],\[2I=2\pi \]                                 \ \[I=\pi \].B
