    \[\int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\frac{dx}{1+\sqrt{\tan x}}=}\]                                      [Kerala (Engg.) 2005]

    A)                 \[\pi /12\]          

    B)                 \[\pi /2\]

    C)                 \[\pi /6\]             

    D)                 \[\pi /4\]

    E)                 \[2\pi /3\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\frac{dx}{1+\sqrt{\tan x}}}\]\[=\int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\frac{\sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}}\ dx}\]   ?..(i)                    \[I=\int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}}\ }\]                                          ?..(ii)                                                 (Since \[\int_{a}^{b}{f(x)dx}=\int_{a}^{b}{f(a+b-x)\,dx}\])                    Adding (i) and (ii), we get, \[2I=\int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\ dx}\]                                 Þ  \[I=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{\pi }{3}-\frac{\pi }{6} \right)=\frac{\pi }{12}\].
