@Raghav Vaidyanathan , can you please approach a different approach to a problem, you see you are using the result from the first problem, now people who see this solution of yours without solving this problem, simply put this answer in the first part , and it is decreasing the ratings of it.
Or give me the previelage to remove the answer of first problem from your solution, and let the people wanting to see the complete solution have a go at my first part too.

This is how solved it, f ( a ) = ∫ 0 π / 2 2 tan a ( x ) This problem asks for, f ′ ′ ( 0 ) Convert f(a) into beta function, then use reflection formula .

Yes that's a good approach. Have you studied complex analysis or contour integration or residue theorom etc. Just curious to know.

@Ronak Agarwal – No , not much. skipping whole real analysis, and study some parts of complex analysis just for solving integration problems doesn't make any sense. I haven't studied these functions properly, like for example, i like calculating integrals using feynmann method(like i applied in this problem), but i don't actually know deeply, that why can i apply it, restrictions, and all that. I infact don;t like integration . You?
I agree with you
You have my permission. Should i do it? Or can you do it yourself?
That's Good. Nice Presence of mind
Even I applied the same approach.
Nice question @Ronak Agarwal .
P.S. - What about @megh choksi comment about the question ?

What comment of megh choksi. Can you please clarify.

@Rajdeep Dhingra – I mean this question settles that doubt for generalising for general n similar approach can be used.
L e t I = ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( sin x ) lo g ( tan x ) d x N o w I = ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g 2 ( sin x ) d x − ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( sin x ) lo g ( cos x ) d x I = 2 1 ( 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g 2 ( sin x ) d x − 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( sin x ) lo g ( cos x ) d x ) I = ∫ 0 π / 2 2 lo g 2 ( tan x ) d x L e t I 1 = ∫ 0 π / 2 2 tan a x d x Using Beta Integral ∫ 0 π / 2 2 tan a x d x = 4 1 β ( ( a / 2 + 0 . 5 ) , ( 1 − a / 2 − 0 . 5 ) ) Using reflection formula ∫ 0 π / 2 2 tan a x d x = 4 π csc ( 2 π a + 2 π ) Differentiating w.r.t a twice and puting a = 0 we get ∫ 0 π / 2 2 lo g 2 ( tan x ) d x = 1 6 π 3 Thanks to Shivang Jindal for pointing in right direction.

We start with the known result from part 1 of this problem
I = ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( cos ( x ) ) lo g ( sin ( x ) ) d x =For result, try the first part.
∫ 0 π / 2 [ lo g ( cos ( x ) ) + lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ] 2 d x = 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ) 2 d x + 2 I ⇒ 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ) 2 d x + 2 I = ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( 2 x ) ) ) 2 d x + ∫ 0 π / 2 l o g 2 2 d x − 2 l o g 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( sin ( x ) ) d x ⇒ 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ) 2 d x + 2 I = ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( t ) ) ) 2 d t + 2 3 π l o g 2 2 ⇒ ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ) 2 d x = 2 3 π l o g 2 2 − 2 I ⇒ ∫ 0 π / 2 ( lo g ( sin ( x ) ) ) 2 d x − I = ∫ 0 π / 2 lo g ( s i n ( x ) ) lo g ( t a n ( x ) ) d x = 2 3 π l o g 2 2 − 3 I
Put value of I to get answer.
