Q. $\int_{}^{}\frac{x^{49}\tan^{- 1}{(x^{50})}}{(1 + x^{100})}dx = k\left\lbrack \tan^{- 1}\left( x^{50} \right) \right\rbrack^{2} + c$, then $k$ is equal to

A) $\frac{1}{50}$
B) $- \frac{1}{50}$
C) $\frac{1}{100}$
D) $- \frac{1}{100}$
Explanation

(c)
Let $I = \int_{}^{}x^{49}\frac{\tan^{- 1}{(x^{50})}}{\left( 1 + x^{50} \right)^{2}}dx$
Put $x^{50} = t\ \ \Rightarrow \ 50x^{49}\ dx = dt$
$\therefore\ I = \frac{1}{50}\ \ \int_{}^{}\frac{\tan^{- 1}t}{1 + t^{2}}dt$
Again, put $\tan^{- 1}t = u\ \Rightarrow \ \frac{1}{1 + t^{2}}dt = du$
$\therefore\ \ I = \frac{1}{50}\int_{}^{}{u\ du = \frac{u^{2}}{100}} + c$
$= \frac{\left( \tan^{- 1}x^{50} \right)^{2}}{100} + c$
But $I = k\left( \tan^{- 1}x^{50} \right)^{2} + c$ [given]
$\therefore\ k = \frac{1}{100}$
