Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

These are standard integral formulas. Let's match each one by recalling the standard results.


∫dxa2−x2=sin⁡−1xa+c\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} = \sin^{-1}\dfrac{x}{a} + c

This is derived using the substitution x=asin⁡θx = a\sin\theta. The expression (a2−x2)(a^2 - x^2) under the root pairs with sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}.

(A)→(II)(A) \rightarrow (II)


∫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

Since the expression under the root is (a2−x2)(a^2 - x^2), the result contains sin⁡−1\sin^{-1} (not log⁡e\log_e). Notice the ++ sign between the two terms.

(B)→(III)(B) \rightarrow (III)


∫x2−a2 dx=x2x2−a2−a22log⁡e∣x+x2−a2∣+c\int \sqrt{x^2 - a^2}\, dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2 - a^2} - \dfrac{a^2}{2}\log_e|x + \sqrt{x^2 - a^2}| + c

Since the expression under the root is (x2−a2)(x^2 - a^2), the result contains log⁡e\log_e (not sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}). Notice the −- sign between the two terms.

(C)→(IV)(C) \rightarrow (IV)


∫dxx2−a2=log⁡e∣x+x2−a2∣+c\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2 - a^2}} = \log_e|x + \sqrt{x^2 - a^2}| + c

This is the simpler form where (x2−a2)(x^2 - a^2) is under the root in the denominator, giving a direct log⁡e\log_e result.

(D)→(I)(D) \rightarrow (I)


Memory tip: sin⁡−1\sin^{-1} always pairs with (a2−x2)(a^2 - x^2) type integrals, and log⁡e\log_e always pairs with (x2−a2)(x^2 - a^2) type integrals.


(A)→(II),  (B)→(III),  (C)→(IV),  (D)→(I)(A) \rightarrow (II),\; (B) \rightarrow (III),\; (C) \rightarrow (IV),\; (D) \rightarrow (I)
