Hard INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $[t]$ denote the greatest integer $\leq t$. Then $$\frac{2}{\pi} \int_\limits{\pi / 6}^{5 \pi / 6}(8[\operatorname{cosec} x]-5[\cot x]) d x$$ is equal to __________.

Answer (integer) 14

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Let } \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{\pi} \int\limits_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{ \frac{5\pi}{6}}\{8[\operatorname{cosec} x]-5[\cot x]\} d x \\\\ & =\frac{2}{\pi}\left[8 \int\limits_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5 \pi}{6}}[\operatorname{cosec} x] d x-5 \int\limits_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{5 \pi}{6}}[\cot x] d x\right] \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$$ \left.\begin{array}{r} =\frac{2}{\pi}\left[8 \int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{5 \pi / 6} d x-5\left\{\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 4} d x+\int\limits_{\pi / 4}^{\pi / 2} 0 . d x+\int\limits_{\pi / 2}^{3 \pi / 4}(-1) d x+\right.\right. \left.\left.+\int\limits_{3 \pi / 4}^{5 \pi / 6}(-2) d x\right\}\right] \end{array}\right] $$ <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{2}{\pi}\left[8 \times\left(\frac{5 \pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6}\right)-5\left\{\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)-\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right\}\right.\left.-2\left(\frac{5 \pi}{6}-\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)\right] \\\\ & =\frac{2}{\pi}\left[\frac{16 \pi}{3}+\frac{5 \pi}{3}\right]=14 \end{aligned} $$
