Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $f$ be a continuous function satisfying $$\int_\limits{0}^{t^{2}}\left(f(x)+x^{2}\right) d x=\frac{4}{3} t^{3}, \forall t > 0$$. Then $f\left(\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}\right)$ is equal to :

  1. A $-\pi\left(1+\frac{\pi^{3}}{16}\right)$
  2. B $\pi\left(1-\frac{\pi^{3}}{16}\right)$ Correct answer
  3. C $-\pi^{2}\left(1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}\right)$
  4. D $\pi^{2}\left(1-\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}\right)$

Solution

Given that <br/><br/>$\int\limits_0^{t^2}\left(f(x)+x^2\right) d x=\frac{4}{3} t^3, \forall t>0$ <br/><br/>On differentiating using Leibnitz rule, we get <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & \left(f\left(t^2\right)+t^4\right) \times 2 t=\frac{4}{3} \times 3 t^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow f\left(t^2\right)+t^4=2 t \\\\ & \Rightarrow f\left(t^2\right)=2 t-t^4 \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>On substituting $\frac{\pi}{2}$ for $t$, we get <br/><br/>$$ f\left(\frac{\pi^2}{4}\right)=2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\frac{\pi^4}{16}=\pi\left(1-\frac{\pi^3}{16}\right) $$
