    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \theta }}=\] [Roorkee 1980; MP PET 1996; DCE 1999]

    A)                 \[\pi \] 

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

    C)                 \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]              

    D)                 \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \theta }=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\theta  \right)}}}\]\[=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{d\theta }{1+\cot \theta }}\]                    On adding,     \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\left( \frac{1}{1+\tan \theta }+\frac{1}{1+\cot \theta } \right)\,d\theta }\]                                                                =\[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{d\theta =[\theta ]_{0}^{\pi /2}=\frac{\pi }{2}\Rightarrow I=\frac{\pi }{4}}\].
