The correct answer is: $\mathrm{c}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{ab}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\operatorname{atan} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{b}}\right)$
$\mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{a^{2}} \int \frac{\sec ^{2} x}{\tan ^{2} x+\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{2}}$
$=\frac{1}{a^{2}} \times \frac{a}{b} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{a \tan x}{b}\right)+c$
$=c+\frac{1}{a b} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{a \tan x}{b}\right)$
