Definite Integration Question 118

Question: If $ \int _{\sin x}^{1}{t^{2}f(t)\ dt=1-\sin x} $ , $ x\in ( 0,\frac{\pi }{2} ) $ then $ f\ ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ) $ equal to

[IIT Screening 2005]

Options:

A) 3

B) $ \frac{1}{3} $

C) $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $

D) $ \sqrt{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

On differentiating both sides, we get $ -{{\sin }^{2}}x\ f(\sin x)\cos x=-\cos x $

therefore $ f(\sin x)=\frac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}x} $

therefore $ f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}} $

therefore $ f\ ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} )=3 $ .
