JEE Main 2024 — 27 January, Shift 2 — Question 7

For 0<a<10<a<1, the value of the integral ∫0πdx1−2acosx+a2\int _{0}^{\pi }\frac{dx}{1-2a\text{cos}x+{{a}^{2}}} is :

  1. Option A:

    π2π+a2\frac{\pi^{2}}{\pi+a^{2}}

  2. Option B:

    π2π−a2\frac{\pi^{2}}{\pi-a^{2}}

  3. Option C:

    π1−a2\frac{\pi}{1-a^{2}}

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    π1+a2\frac{\pi}{1+a^{2}}

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

I=∫0πdx1−2acos⁡x+a2;0<a<1\mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{1-2 \mathrm{a} \cos \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a}^{2}} ; 0<\mathrm{a}<1

I=∫0πdx1+2acos⁡x+a2I=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{d x}{1+2 a \cos x+a^{2}}

2I=2∫0π/22(1+a2)(1+a2)2−4a2cos⁡2xdx2 I=2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{2\left(1+a^{2}\right)}{\left(1+a^{2}\right)^{2}-4 a^{2} \cos ^{2} x} d x

⇒I=∫0π/22(1+a2)⋅sec⁡2x(1+a2)2⋅sec⁡2x−4a2dx\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{2\left(1+\mathrm{a}^{2}\right) \cdot \sec ^{2} \mathrm{x}}{\left(1+\mathrm{a}^{2}\right)^{2} \cdot \sec ^{2} x-4 \mathrm{a}^{2}} \mathrm{dx}

⇒I=∫0π/22⋅(1+a2)⋅sec⁡2x(1+a2)2⋅tan⁡2x+(1−a2)2dx\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{2 \cdot\left(1+\mathrm{a}^{2}\right) \cdot \sec ^{2} \mathrm{x}}{\left(1+\mathrm{a}^{2}\right)^{2} \cdot \tan ^{2} \mathrm{x}+\left(1-\mathrm{a}^{2}\right)^{2}} \mathrm{dx}

⇒I=∫0π/22⋅sec⁡2x1+a2⋅dxtan⁡2x+(1−a21+a2)2\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\frac{2 \cdot \sec ^{2} \mathrm{x}}{1+\mathrm{a}^{2}} \cdot \mathrm{dx}}{\tan ^{2} \mathrm{x}+\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{a}^{2}}{1+\mathrm{a}^{2}}\right)^{2}}

⇒I=2(1−a2)[π2−0]\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{\left(1-\mathrm{a}^{2}\right)}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-0\right]

I=π1−a2I=\frac{\pi}{1-a^{2}}
