(A) Let $I = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{d x}{1+\sqrt{\tan x}} = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sqrt{\cos x} d x}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}}$ .... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) d x$,we have $a+b = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
So,$I = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sqrt{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)} d x}{\sqrt{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)} + \sqrt{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}} = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x} d x}{\sqrt{\sin x} + \sqrt{\cos x}}$ .... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get:
$2I = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sqrt{\cos x} + \sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\cos x} + \sqrt{\sin x}} d x = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} 1 d x$
$2I = [x]_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} = \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6}$
Therefore,$I = \frac{\pi}{12}$.
