    If\[{{I}_{n}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{n}}x},\]then\[\frac{1}{{{I}_{3}}+{{I}_{5}}}\]is

    A)  1/4        

    B)                         1/2

    C)  1/8                       

    D)         4

    E)  6

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[{{I}_{n}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{n}}x}dx\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{I}_{3}}+{{I}_{5}}=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{({{\tan }^{3}}x+{{\tan }^{5}}x)}dx\]                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi /4}{{{\tan }^{3}}x{{\sec }^{2}}xdx}\]                 \[=\left[ \frac{{{\tan }^{4}}x}{4} \right]_{0}^{\pi /4}=\frac{{{\tan }^{4}}\frac{\pi }{4}}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\] Hence, \[\frac{1}{{{I}_{3}}+{{I}_{5}}}=4\]
