    \[\int_{0}^{a}{\frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{{{d}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}}\] is:

    A)  \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{4}\]                   

    B)         \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    D)         \[\pi \]

    E)  \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Let \[I=\int_{0}^{a}{\frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}}\] Let          \[x=a\text{ }sin\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]        \[dx=a\text{ }cos\theta \text{ }d\theta \] \[\therefore \]  \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{a\cos \theta d\theta }{a\sin \theta +a\cos \theta }}\]                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta +\cos \theta }}d\theta \]                        ?. (i) \[\Rightarrow \] \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{\cos (\pi /2-\theta )}{\sin (\pi /2-\theta )+\cos (\pi /2-\theta )}}d\theta \] \[\therefore \] \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta +\cos \theta }}d\theta \]                        ?.(ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[2I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{1\,}d\theta =[\theta ]_{0}^{\pi /2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\frac{\pi }{4}\]
