Ans: To simplify the question let us suppose,
$ \int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x $
By second fundamental theorem of calculus, we obtain
$ \int\limits_1^{\sqrt 3 } {\dfrac{{dx}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} = F(\sqrt 3 ) - F(1) $
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 3 - {\tan ^{^{ - 1}}}1 $
$= \dfrac{\pi }{3} - \dfrac{\pi }{4} $
$ = \dfrac{\pi }{{12}} $
Hence, the correct Answer is $\dfrac{\pi }{{12}}$
