Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

We need to match four standard integral formulas with their correct results.


∫dxx2−a2\int \dfrac{dx}{x^2 - a^2}

Using partial fractions, we write 1x2−a2=1(x−a)(x+a)\dfrac{1}{x^2 - a^2} = \dfrac{1}{(x-a)(x+a)}, which after integrating gives:

∫dxx2−a2=12alog⁡∣x−ax+a∣+C\int \dfrac{dx}{x^2 - a^2} = \dfrac{1}{2a}\log\left\lvert \dfrac{x-a}{x+a}\right\rvert + C

This matches II\text{II}.

So, A→IIA \to II


∫dxx2+a2\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2 + a^2}}

Substituting x=atan⁡θx = a\tan\theta and simplifying, we get:

∫dxx2+a2=log⁡∣x+x2+a2∣+C\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2 + a^2}} = \log\left\lvert x + \sqrt{x^2 + a^2}\right\rvert + C

This matches IV\text{IV}.

So, B→IVB \to IV


∫a2−x2 dx\int \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}\, dx

Substituting x=asin⁡θx = a\sin\theta and using the identity cos⁡2θ=1+cos⁡2θ2\cos^2\theta = \dfrac{1+\cos 2\theta}{2}, we get:

∫a2−x2 dx=x2a2−x2+a22sin⁡−1xa+C\int \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}\, dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + \dfrac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\dfrac{x}{a} + C

The sin⁡−1\sin^{-1} term appears because the integrand contains a2−x2\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} (minus sign inside the root).

This matches III\text{III}.

So, C→IIIC \to III


∫a2+x2 dx\int \sqrt{a^2 + x^2}\, dx

Substituting x=atan⁡θx = a\tan\theta and simplifying, we get:

∫a2+x2 dx=x2x2+a2+a22log⁡∣x+x2+a2∣+C\int \sqrt{a^2 + x^2}\, dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2 + a^2} + \dfrac{a^2}{2}\log\left\lvert x + \sqrt{x^2 + a^2}\right\rvert + C

Since there is a plus sign inside the root, the result has a log⁡\log term instead of sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}.

This matches I\text{I}.

So, D→ID \to I


A→II,B→IV,C→III,D→IA \to II, \quad B \to IV, \quad C \to III, \quad D \to I
