Cauchy Integral Theorem:

If a complex function f(z) is analytic within and on a closed contour C inside a simply-connected domain, and if a is any point in the middle of C, then

f(a) = 

Explanation:

Singular points are given by 

z- 1 = 0 ⇒ z = 1, z = -1

The only singular point that lies inside γ is z = 1.

Let f(z) = 

Hence using Cauchy's Integral test

 = 2πi f(1) = 2πi × (e/2) = iπe

 Option (1) is correct.
