Q36 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (20 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

If [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, then the value of the integral ∫-π/2π/2x-sinxdx is equal to:

  • Correct answer
    A
    -π
  • B
    π
  • C
    0
  • D
    1

Solution

We have,

I=∫-π/2π/2x-sinxdx …i

⇒I=∫-π2-1x-sinxdx+∫-10x-sinxdx+∫01x-sinxdx+∫1π2x-sinxdx

⇒I=∫-π/2-1-2-sinxdx+∫-10-1-sinxdx+∫010-sinxdx+∫1π21-sinxdx

⇒I=-2∫-π/2-1dx-∫-10dx-1∫01dx+∫1π20·dx

⇒I=-2-1+π2-1-1

⇒I=-π

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
