    The value of \[\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2}{\frac{{{2}^{\sin x}}}{{{2}^{\sin x}}+{{2}^{\cos x}}}dx}\] is [Karnataka CET 1999; Kerala (Engg.) 2005]

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

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

    C)                 \[\pi \] 

    D)                 \[2\pi \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2}{\frac{{{2}^{\sin x}}}{{{2}^{\sin x}}+{{2}^{\cos x}}}dx}\]                                        ?..(i)            \[I=\int_{0}^{\,\pi /2}{\frac{{{2}^{\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}}}{{{2}^{\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}}+{{2}^{\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}}}dx}\]\[=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{2}^{\cos x}}}{{{2}^{\cos x}}+{{2}^{\sin x}}}}\,dx\]                                                                                                      ?..(ii)                    Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get                    \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\left( \frac{{{2}^{\sin x}}+{{2}^{\cos x}}}{{{2}^{\sin x}}+{{2}^{\cos x}}} \right)dx=\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2}{1\,dx}=[x]\,_{0}^{\pi /2}=\frac{\pi }{2}}\]                                 Therefore, \[I=\frac{\pi }{4}\].
