Let
$$C_n =int^{1/n}_{1/(n+1)}frac{tan^{-1}(nx)}{sin^{-1}(nx)}dxtextrm{.} $$
Then $lim_{n to infty} n ^2C_n$ equals :
a) $1$

c) $-1$
d) $frac12$
I am not getting any clue on this. How to proceed? Please help on this. I will be grateful to you.

the thing here is not to be put off by the rather ferocious-looking integrand. as you can see, the limits of integration get closer together as $n$ increases. this means you can use an approximation based on a constant value of the integrand within the limits of integration.
it is helpful to make a minor substitution of $z=nx$ so you will have changed limits of integration, and you must use that $dx=frac{dz}{n}$. this gives altogether:
$$
C_n = frac1n int_{frac{n}{n+1}}^1 frac {tan^{-1} z}{sin^{-1}z} dz
$$
you should be able to proceed from here, using the asymptotic equality of the ratio of $tan z$ and $sin z$ as $z to 0$. i don't think the question requires you to prove this, but you may wish to make an attempt

You can use the Mean Value Theorem for integrals to get the limit. In fact, since
$$ int_{frac{1}{n+1}}^{frac1n}frac{arctan nx}{arcsin nx}dx=frac{arctan nxi_n}{arcsin nxi_n}frac{1}{n(n+1)}$$
where
$$frac{1}{n+1}<xi_n<{frac1n},$$
we have
begin{eqnarray}
lim_{ntoinfty}n^2C_n&=&lim_{ntoinfty}n^2int_{frac{1}{n+1}}^{frac1n}frac{arctan nx}{arcsin nx}dx\
&=&lim_{ntoinfty}n^2frac{arctan nxi_n}{arcsin nxi_n}frac{1}{n(n+1)}\
&=&lim_{ntoinfty}frac{arctan nxi_n}{arcsin nxi_n}.
end{eqnarray}
Since
$$frac{1}{n+1}<xi_n<{frac1n}$$
we have
$$frac{n}{n+1}<nxi_n<1$$
or $lim_{ntoinfty}nxi_n=1$. So
$$ lim_{ntoinfty}n^2C_n=frac{arctan 1}{arcsin 1}=frac{frac{pi}{4}}{frac{pi}{2}}=frac12.$$
So you have to choose (d).
