Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The value of the integral $\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 60 \frac{\sin (6 x)}{\sin x} d x$ is equal to _________.

Answer (integer) 104

Solution

<p>$I = \int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 2}} {60\,.\,{{\sin 6x} \over {\sin x}}dx}$</p> <p>$$ = 60\,.\,2\int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 2}} {(3 - 4{{\sin }^2}x)(4{{\cos }^2}x - 3)\cos x\,dx} $$</p> <p>$$ = 120\int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 2}} {(3 - 4{{\sin }^2}x)(1 - 4{{\sin }^2}x)\cos x\,dx} $$</p> <p>Let $\sin x = t \Rightarrow \cos xdx = dt$</p> <p>$= 120\int\limits_0^1 {(3 - 4{t^2})(1 - 4{t^2})dt}$</p> <p>$= 120\int\limits_0^1 {(3 - 16{t^2} + 16{t^4})dt}$</p> <p>$= 120\left[ {3t - {{16{t^3}} \over 3} + {{16{t^5}} \over 5}} \right]_0^1$</p> <p>$= 104$</p>
