    Find the value of \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{dx}{1+{{\tan }^{3}}x}}\]

    A)  0                                            

    B)         1                                            

    C)                         \[\pi /2\]                              

    D)         \[\pi /4\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{dx}{1+{{\tan }^{3}}x}}\]                   ?(i) \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{dx}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{dx}{1+{{\cot }^{3}}x}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\tan }^{3}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{3}}x}}dx\]                      ?(ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\left( \frac{1+{{\tan }^{3}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{3}}x} \right)}dx=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{dx=[x]_{0}^{\pi /2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[I=\pi /4\]
