    \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{x\tan x}{\sec x+\tan x}}\,dx=\]                                     [MNR 1984]

    A)                 \[\frac{\pi }{2}-1\]          

    B)                 \[\pi \left( \frac{\pi }{2}+1 \right)\]

    C)                 \[\frac{\pi }{2}+1\]         

    D)                 \[\pi \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-1 \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{x\tan x}{\sec x+\tan x}dx=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{(\pi -x)\tan (\pi -x)}{\sec (\pi -x)+\tan (\pi -x)}}dx}\]            Þ \[2I=\frac{\pi }{2}\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{\tan x}{\sec x+\tan x}dx=\frac{\pi }{2}\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{\sin x}{1+\sin x}dx}}\]                           =\[\frac{\pi }{2}\left[ \int_{0}^{\pi }{1dx-\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{dx}{1+\sin x}}} \right]\]                                 On solving, we get \[I=\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}-\pi =\pi \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-1 \right)\].
