    \[\int_{\ -\pi }^{\pi }{\frac{{{\sin }^{4}}x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\ dx}=\]                                   [Kerala (Engg.) 2005]

    A)                 \[\pi /4\]             

    B)                 \[\pi /2\]

    C)                 \[3\pi /2\]          

    D)                 \[2\pi \]

    E)                 \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{\frac{{{\sin }^{4}}x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\ dx}\]                    \[\therefore \]\[I=2\times 2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{4}}x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\ dx}\]             .....(i)                    \[I=4\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{4}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}{{{\sin }^{4}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)+{{\cos }^{4}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}\ dx}\]                    \[I=4\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\cos }^{4}}x}{{{\cos }^{4}}x+{{\sin }^{4}}x}\ dx}\]                .....(ii)                    Adding (i) and (ii) we get,\[2I=4\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{dx=4\times \frac{\pi }{2}=2\pi }\]                                 Þ \[I=\pi \].
