Let ℕ be the set of natural numbers. For n∈ℕ, define In=∫0πxsin2n(x)sin2n(x)+cos2n(x)dx.

Then for m,n∈ℕ

  • A
    Im<In for all m<n
  • B
    Im>In for all m<n
  • Correct answer
    C
    Im=In for all m≠n
  • D
    Im<In for some m<n and Im>In for some m<n

Solution

In=12∫0πxsin2nxsin2nx+cos2nx+(π-x)sin2nxsin2nx+cos2nxdx

=π2∫0πsin2nxdxsin2nx+cos2nx

=2×π2∫0π/2sin2nxdxsin2nx+cos2nx

=π2∫0π/2sin2nx+cos2nxsin2nx+cos2nxdx

=π2×π2=π24

⇒Im=In∀m,n

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