(D) Let $I =\int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{d x}{ a ^2 \cos ^2 x+ b ^2 \sin ^2 x}$ Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos ^2 x$, we get $I =\int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{ a ^2+ b ^2 \tan ^2 x} d x$ Put $b \tan x= t \Rightarrow b \ sec ^2 \ x \ d x= dt$ When $x=0, t =0$ and when $x=\frac{\pi}{2}, t =\infty$ $\therefore I=\int_0^{\infty} \frac{\frac{ dt }{ b }}{ a ^2+ t ^2}=\frac{1}{b}\left[\frac{1}{ a } \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{ t }{ a }\right)\right]_0^{\infty}$ $=\frac{1}{ ab }\left(\tan ^{-1} \infty-\tan ^{-1} 0\right)$ $=\frac{1}{ ab }\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-0\right)=\frac{\pi}{2 ab }$
