Q35 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2014 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Paragraph: Given that for each $a \in(0,1)$, $\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \int_{h}^{1-h} t^{-a}(1-t)^{a-1} d t$ exists. Let this limit be $g(a)$. In addition, it is given that the function $g(a)$ is differentiable on $(0,1)$.
Question: The value of $g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    π
  • B
    2π
  • C
    π2
  • D
    π4

Solution

g12=limh→0+⁡∫h1-ht-12 1-t-12 dt
=∫01dtt-t2=∫01dt14-t-122=sin-1⁡t-121201
=sin-1⁡1-sin-1⁡(-1)=π

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