Thanks sir ! ���� I got confused seeing zero in denominator!! Sir, do you have idea to how much extent we can apply dimensional analysis in integration? I'm seeing it for 1st time.

$$letI=\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{-x^2+2ax}}\Rightarrow I=\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{-(x^2-2ax+a^2-a^2)}}$$$$=\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2-{(x-a)}^2}}{=}_{x-a=asint}\int \frac{acost}{acost}dt=\int dt=t+c$$$$=arcsin\left(\frac{x-a}{a}\right)+c=arcsin(\frac{x}{a}-1)+c\Rightarrow n=0$$
