Answer

B. (1, 3)

Explanation

Given $$\int {{{\cos x - \sin x} \over {\sqrt {8 - \sin 2x} }}} dx$$ Write sin2x = 1 + sin2x - 1 = $$\int {{{\cos x - \sin x} \over {\sqrt {8 - \left[ {1 + \sin 2x - 1} \right]} }}} dx$$ = $$\int {{{\cos x - \sin x} \over {\sqrt {8 - \left[ {{{\sin }^2}x + {{\cos }^2}x + 2\sin x\cos x - 1} \right]} }}} dx$$ = $$\int {{{\cos x - \sin x} \over {\sqrt {8 - \left[ {{{\left( {\sin x + \cos x} \right)}^2} - 1} \right]} }}} dx$$ = $$\int {{{\cos x - \sin x} \over {\sqrt {9 - {{\left( {\sin x + \cos x} \right)}^2}} }}} dx$$ put sin x + cos x = t $$ \Rightarrow $$ (cos x – sin x) dx = dt = $$\int {{{dt} \over {\sqrt {9 - {{\left( t \right)}^2}} }}} $$ = $${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{t \over 3}} \right)$$ + C = $${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{\sin x + \cos x} \over 3}} \right) + C$$ $$ \therefore $$ a = 1 and b = 3
