    \[\int_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{\log \,(1+{{x}^{2}})}{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\,dx=\]

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

    B)                 \[\pi \log 2\]

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

    D)                 \[2\pi \log 2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                        Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{\log (1+{{x}^{2}})}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\,\,dx}\]                    Put \[x=\tan \theta \Rightarrow dx={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta ,\]                    \[\therefore \] \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\log {{(\sec \theta )}^{2}}d\theta =2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\log \sec \theta \,\,d\theta }}\]                    \[=-2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\log \cos \theta \,\,d\theta =-2.\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}\log \frac{1}{2}}\]\[=-\pi \log \frac{1}{2}=\pi \log 2\].
