    \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{1}{1+\sin x}dx}\]is equal to

    A)  1                                            

    B)  2

    C)  -1                          

    D)         -2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let\[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{1}{1+\sin x}dx}\]                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{1}{1+\frac{2\tan \frac{x}{2}}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}}}dx}\]                 \[=\int_{0}^{\pi }{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}}{\left( 1+\tan \frac{x}{2} \right)}dx}\] Put\[\tan \frac{x}{2}=t\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[\frac{1}{2}{{\sec }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}dx=dt\] \[\therefore I=\int_{0}^{\infty }{\frac{2\,\,dt}{{{(1+t)}^{2}}}={{\left[ -\frac{2}{1+t} \right]}_{0}}=2}\]
