Answer: (B) P→3, Q→2, R→4, S→1

(P) Adding the integral to itself with x→−xx\to-x gives 11+ex+11+e−x=1\frac{1}{1+e^{x}}+\frac{1}{1+e^{-x}}=1, so P=∫0π/2x2cos⁡x dx=π24−2P=\int_0^{\pi/2}x^{2}\cos x\,dx=\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}-2, which is (3). (Q) By x→π2−xx\to\frac\pi2-x, QQ equals the integral of cos⁡xsin⁡x+cos⁡x\frac{\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}; the sum is π2\frac\pi2, so Q=π4Q=\frac\pi4, which is (2). (R) With x=tan⁡θx=\tan\theta, R=∫0π/4ln⁡(1+tan⁡θ)dθR=\int_0^{\pi/4}\ln(1+\tan\theta)d\theta; using θ→π4−θ\theta\to\frac\pi4-\theta gives 1+tan⁡(π4−θ)=21+tan⁡θ1+\tan(\frac\pi4-\theta)=\frac{2}{1+\tan\theta}, so 2R=π4ln⁡22R=\frac\pi4\ln2 and R=π8ln⁡2R=\frac\pi8\ln2, which is (4). (S) By x→π−xx\to\pi-x, 2S=π∫0πdx1+sin⁡x=2π2S=\pi\int_0^\pi\frac{dx}{1+\sin x}=2\pi, so S=πS=\pi, which is (1). Hence P→3, Q→2, R→4, S→1. Each value was confirmed by numerical quadrature. Notice that each of the four integrals is of a different structural type: a symmetric-interval trick, a complementary substitution, a tangent substitution and a reflection about the midpoint of the interval.
