$\int_0^{\pi / 6} \frac{\sin x}{\cos ^3 x} d x=$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{6}$
(B) Let $I =\int_0^{\pi / 6} \frac{\sin x}{\cos ^3 x} d x=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \tan x \sec ^2 x d x$ Put $\tan x= t \Rightarrow \sec ^2 x d x= dt$ When $x=0, t =0$ and when $x=\frac{\pi}{6}, t =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\therefore \quad I =\int_0^{\frac{1}{3}} tdt =\left[\frac{ t ^2}{2}\right]_0^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}=\frac{1}{6}$
