[IIT Screening 2002]

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{3} $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{2} $

C) $ \frac{3\pi }{2} $

D) $ \pi $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ 3\sin x-4{{\sin }^{3}}x=\sin 3x $ It is increasing, when $ -\pi /2\le 3x\le \pi /2 $ i.e., $ -\pi /6\le x\le \pi /6 $ . The length of interval = $ | ,\frac{\pi }{6}-( -\frac{\pi }{6} ), |,=,\frac{\pi }{3} $ .
