JEE · Math · previous-year question
- A.$${\pi \over 2}{\log _e}2$$correct
- B.$${\pi \over 4}{\log _e}2$$
- C.$${1 \over 2}{\log _e}2$$
- D.$$\pi {\log _e}2$$
Answer
A. $${\pi \over 2}{\log _e}2$$
Explanation
$$I = \int\limits_{{1 \over 2}}^2 {{{{{\tan }^{ - 1}}x} \over x}dx} $$ ..... (i) $$x \to {1 \over x}$$ $$I = \int\limits_{{1 \over 2}}^2 {{1 \over x}{{\tan }^{ - 1}}{1 \over x}dx} $$ ..... (ii) $$2I = \int\limits_{{1 \over 2}}^2 {{1 \over x}\,.\,{\pi \over 2}dx} $$ $$ = \left. {{\pi \over 2}\ln x} \right|_{{1 \over 2}}^2 = \pi \ln 2$$ $$ \Rightarrow I = {\pi \over 2}\ln 2$$
