  • $\frac{1}{{n\,\, - \,\,1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{n\,\, + \,\,2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{{n\,\, - \,\,1}}$
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{{n\,\, - \,\,1}}$
a
Let $I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^{n} x+\tan ^{-2} x\right) d(x-[x])$

Where $[. ]$ denotes greatest integer function

Using property, $x=[x]+\{x\}$ where $\{x\}$ denotes fractional part of $x$. $I=\int_{0}^{H / 4}\left(\tan ^{n} x+\tan ^{n-2} x\right) d(\{x\})$

$\frac{\pi}{4}=0.78<1$

$\therefore$ For $x \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right], \quad\{x\}=x$

$\therefore I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^{n} x+\tan ^{-2} x\right) d x$

$\therefore I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \tan ^{n-2} x\left[1+\tan ^{2} n\right] d x$

[ using trigonomotric identity $, 2+\tan ^{2} x=\sec ^{2} x$] $\therefore I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^{n-2} x\right)\left(\sec ^{2} x d x\right)$

Let $\tan x=t$

$\therefore \sec ^{2} x d x=d t$

$\tan 0=0, \tan \frac{\pi}{4}=1$

$\therefore$ Limit of $t$ laries from 0 to 1 .

$\therefore I=\int_{0}^{1}(t)^{n-2} d t$

$\left.\therefore I=\frac{E^{n-1}}{m-1}\right]_{0}^{1}=\left[\frac{(1)^{n-1}}{n-1}-\frac{(0)^{n-1}}{n-1}\right]$

$\therefore I=\frac{1}{n-1}$
