Answer: a=\frac{1}{2}

Hint: You must know about the \int_{a}^{b} \frac{1}{1+x^{2}} d x

Given: \int_{0}^{a} \frac{1}{1+4 x^{2}} d x=\frac{\pi}{8}

Solution:  

I=\int_{0}^{a} \frac{1}{1+4 x^{2}} d x

    \begin{aligned} &=\int_{0}^{a} \frac{1}{4 x^{2}+1} d x \\\\ &=\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{a} \frac{1}{x^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)} d x \end{aligned}

    =\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{a} \frac{1}{x^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}} d x                    \left[\because \int \frac{1}{x^{2}+a^{2}} d x=\frac{1}{a} \tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}\right]

    =\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{1 / 2}\left[\tan ^{-1} \frac{x}{1 / 2}\right]_{0}^{a}

    \begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{2}\left[\tan ^{-1} 2 x\right]_{0}^{a} \\\\ &=\frac{1}{2}\left[\tan ^{-1}(2 a)-\tan ^{-1}(0)\right]=\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1}(2 a)-0 \end{aligned}                \left[\because \tan ^{-1}(0)=\tan ^{-1}(\tan 0)=0\right]

    =\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1}(2 a)

According to given,

\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1}(2 a)=\frac{\pi}{8} \\\\ &\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}(2 a)=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow(2 a)=\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow 2 a=1 \quad \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2} \quad\left[\because \tan \frac{\pi}{4}=1\right]
