    The total number of distinct \[x\in [0,1]\] for which \[\int\limits_{0}^{x}{\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{1+{{t}^{4}}}dt=2x-1}\]is

    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) 2

    D) 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[f(x)=\int_{0}^{x}{\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{1+{{t}^{4}}}dt\,-2x+1}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[f'(x)=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{4}}}-2<0\forall x\in [0,1]\]
    \[\therefore \]f is decreasing on [0,1]
    Also \[f(0)=1\]
    and \[f(1)=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{1+{{t}^{4}}}}dt-1\]
    For \[0\le t\le 1\Rightarrow 0\le \frac{{{t}^{2}}}{1+{{t}^{4}}}<\frac{1}{2}\]
    \[\therefore \int_{0}^{1}{\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{1+{{t}^{4}}}dt<\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow f(1)<0}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[f(x)\]crosses \[x-\operatorname{axis}\]exactly once in \[[0,1]\]
    \[\therefore \]\[f(x)=0\]has exactly one root in \[[0,1]\]
