Yes we land on to the same thing!
∫ 0 2 π s i n 2 m − 1 ( x ) c o s 2 n − 1 ( x ) d x = B ( m , n ) ∫ 0 2 π s i n 2 m − 1 ( x ) ( c o s 2 x ) 2 2 n − 1 d x = B ( m , n )
On differentiating it twice w.r.t. to n and taking m = 2 1 and n = 2 1 , we get
∫ 0 2 π ( ln ( c o s 2 x ) d x ) 2 = 2 1 1 ( Γ ( 2 1 ) ) 2 { ( ψ ( 2 1 ) − ψ ( 1 ) ) 2 + ψ ′ ( 2 1 ) − ψ ′ ( 1 ) }
∴ ∫ 0 2 π ( ln ( c o s 2 x ) d x ) 2 = 6 π 3 + 2 π ( ln 2 ) 2

Yes I copied the same solution because it was mine. You can copy whatever is yours.

@Aditya Kumar – I know, just tried to be sarcastic.
You us to find " A + B + C + D + E ", and not " m i n { A + B + C + D + E } ". There is no point in taking the minimum of a single number!

Alternate Approach :
Consider the integral J ( a ) = 2 a ∫ 0 2 π sin a ( x ) d x = Γ ( 2 a + 1 ) 2 a − 1 Γ ( 2 a + 1 ) π
Our integral is equal to I = ∫ 0 2 π ( ln ( cos 2 x ) ) 2 d x = 4 J ′ ′ ( 0 ) + 2 π ln 2 2
On calculation we have J ′ ′ ( 0 ) = 2 4 π 3 which turns I = 6 π 3 + 2 π ln 2 2 making the answer 3 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 1 5
