  1. Option A:

    22−12 \sqrt{2}-1

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    2(2−1)2(\sqrt{2}-1)

  3. Option C:

    3(2−1)3(\sqrt{2}-1)

  4. Option D:

    2−1\sqrt{2}-1

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

∫cos⁡y1+2sin⁡ydy=∫dx16(9x+x)(4+9+x)\int \frac{\cos y}{1+2 \sin y} d y=\int \frac{d x}{16(\sqrt{9 \sqrt{x}+x})(4+\sqrt{9+\sqrt{x}})}

4+9+x=t\begin{aligned} & 4+\sqrt{9+\sqrt{x}}=t \end{aligned}

129+x×dx2x=1dx \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{9+\sqrt{x}}} \times \frac{d x}{2 \sqrt{x}}=1 d x

12ℓn∣1+2sin⁡y∣=∫4dt16t+C\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n}|1+2 \sin \mathrm{y}|=\int \frac{4 \mathrm{dt}}{16 \mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{C}

12ℓn∣1+2sin⁡y∣=14ℓn∣ 4+9+x+C\left.\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n}|1+2 \sin \mathrm{y}|=\frac{1}{4} \ell \mathrm{n} \right\rvert\, 4+\sqrt{9+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}}+\mathrm{C}

12ℓn(2sin⁡y+1)=14ℓn∣4+9+x∣+C\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n}(2 \sin \mathrm{y}+1)=\frac{1}{4} \ell \mathrm{n}|4+\sqrt{9+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}}|+\mathrm{C}

Substituting (256,π2)\left(256, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)

12ℓn3=12ℓn3+CC=0\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n} 3=\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n} 3+\mathrm{C} \quad \mathrm{C}=0

Substituting (49,α)(49, \alpha)

12ℓn(2sin⁡α+1)=14ℓn8\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n}(2 \sin \alpha+1)=\frac{1}{4} \ell \mathrm{n} 8

ℓn(2sin⁡α+1)=12ℓn8\ell \mathrm{n}(2 \sin \alpha+1)=\frac{1}{2} \ell \mathrm{n} 8

ℓn(2sin⁡α+1)=ℓn22\ell \mathrm{n}(2 \sin \alpha+1)=\ell \mathrm{n} 2 \sqrt{2}

2sin⁡α+1=222 \sin \alpha+1=2 \sqrt{2}

2sin⁡α=22−12 \sin \alpha=2 \sqrt{2}-1
