  3. Option C:

    π3(π+1)\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}(\pi+1)

  4. Option D:

    π3(π+2)\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}(\pi+2)

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

I=∫0π(x+3)sin⁡x1+3cos⁡2xdx…(i)I=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(x+3) \sin x}{1+3 \cos ^{2} x} d x …(i)

=∫0π(π−x+3)sin⁡(π−x)1+3cos⁡2(π−x)dx=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x+3) \sin (\pi-x)}{1+3 \cos ^{2}(\pi-x)} d x

=∫0π(π+3)sin⁡x−xsin⁡x1+3cos⁡2xdx…(ii)\begin{gathered} =\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi+3) \sin x-x \sin x}{1+3 \cos ^{2} x} d x …(ii) \end{gathered}

Add (i) & (ii) 2I=∫0π(π+6)sin⁡x1+3cos⁡2xdx2 I=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi+6) \sin x}{1+3 \cos ^{2} x} d x

Let cos⁡x=t⇒−sin⁡xdx=dt\cos x=t \Rightarrow-\sin x d x=d t

(π+6)∫1−1−dt(1+3t2)=(π+63)∫−11dtt2+(13)2(\pi+6) \int_{1}^{-1} \frac{-d t}{\left(1+3 t^{2}\right)}=\left(\frac{\pi+6}{3}\right) \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{d t}{t^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{2}}

⇒2I=(π+63)⋅1(13)⋅tan⁡−1t13∣−11\Rightarrow \quad 2 I=\left.\left(\frac{\pi+6}{3}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)} \cdot \tan ^{-1} \frac{t}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\right|_{-1} ^{1}

⇒2I=(π+63)[tan⁡−1(3)−tan⁡−1(−3)]=(π+63)⋅(π3−(−π3))=(π+63)⋅2π3⇒I=π(π+6)33\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 2 I=\left(\frac{\pi+6}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\left[\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})-\tan ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})\right] \\&=\left(\frac{\pi+6}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\right) \\&=\left(\frac{\pi+6}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{3} \\& \Rightarrow \quad I=\frac{\pi(\pi+6)}{3 \sqrt{3}} \end{aligned}
