Analyzing the Setup

The integral provided is:
At first glance, this expression appears daunting due to the trigonometric complexity. However, in JEE Advanced, the provided options often serve as a roadmap. Since every option is in the form , we can infer that the integral is a disguised version of the power rule:

The Detective Work

We extract the core polynomial from the structure of the options. Let us define:
If our hypothesis is correct, the derivative of must be hidden within the numerator of the integral. We differentiate with respect to using the chain rule:
Factoring out , we obtain:
This confirms that the complexity of the original integral was merely a mask. By identifying from the options, we bypass tedious simplification and reduce the integral to:

The Final Transformation

Applying the power rule , and multiplying by our constant , we get:
Substituting our original definition of back into the expression, we have:
To match the specific form of the provided options, we use the identity . Substituting this into and expanding the terms, we arrive at:
This result matches the required form perfectly. By using the options as a strategic map, we have successfully solved the problem. The final answer is derived from the substitution of this polynomial into the power rule result.
