Definite Integration Question 98

Question: If $ P=\int_0^{3\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x)dx}andQ=\int_0^{\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x)dx} $ , then

[Orissa JEE 2004]

Options:

A) $ P-Q=0 $

B) $ P-2Q=0 $

C) $ P-3Q=0 $

D) $ P-5Q=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ P=\int_0^{3\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x)dx} $ and $ Q=\int_0^{\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x)dx} $

Also, $ P=3\int_0^{\pi }{f({{\cos }^{2}}x)dx=3Q} $

therefore $ P-3Q=0 $ .
