Q1 · 2026

The value of π/6π/6(π+4x111sin(x+π/6))dx\int\limits_{-\pi/6}^{\pi/6}\left(\frac{\pi+4x^{11}}{1-\sin(|x|+\pi/6)}\right) dx is equal to:

  • A.

    8π8\pi

  • B.

    4π4\pi

  • C.

    6π6\pi

  • D.

    2π2\pi

Answer: B
  1. Split the numerator into even (π\pi) and odd (4x114x^{11}) parts, and pair xx with x-x over the symmetric interval — since x=x|x|=|-x|, the denominator is the same for both. I=0π/6[π+4x111sin(x+π/6)+π4x111sin(x+π/6)]dxI=\int_0^{\pi/6}\left[\frac{\pi+4x^{11}}{1-\sin(x+\pi/6)}+\frac{\pi-4x^{11}}{1-\sin(x+\pi/6)}\right]dx

  2. The odd terms cancel, leaving twice the constant-numerator term. I=2π0π/6dx1sin(x+π/6)I=2\pi\int_0^{\pi/6}\frac{dx}{1-\sin(x+\pi/6)}

  3. Rationalize by multiplying numerator and denominator by 1+sinθ1+\sin\theta, using 1sin2θ=cos2θ1-\sin^2\theta=\cos^2\theta. 11sinθ=1+sinθcos2θ=sec2θ+tanθsecθ\frac{1}{1-\sin\theta}=\frac{1+\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}=\sec^2\theta+\tan\theta\sec\theta

  4. Substitute this identity with θ=x+π/6\theta=x+\pi/6. I=2π0π/6[sec2(x+π6)+tan(x+π6)sec(x+π6)]dxI=2\pi\int_0^{\pi/6}\left[\sec^2\left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)+\tan\left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\sec\left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right]dx

  5. Integrate directly, since ddx(tanθ)=sec2θ\frac{d}{dx}(\tan\theta)=\sec^2\theta and ddx(secθ)=secθtanθ\frac{d}{dx}(\sec\theta)=\sec\theta\tan\theta. I=2π[tan(x+π6)+sec(x+π6)]0π/6I=2\pi\left[\tan\left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)+\sec\left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right]_0^{\pi/6}

  6. Evaluate at the limits (argument becomes π/3\pi/3 at x=π/6x=\pi/6, and π/6\pi/6 at x=0x=0). tanπ3+secπ3=3+2,tanπ6+secπ6=3\tan\frac{\pi}{3}+\sec\frac{\pi}{3}=\sqrt3+2,\qquad \tan\frac{\pi}{6}+\sec\frac{\pi}{6}=\sqrt3

  7. Subtract and multiply by 2π2\pi. I=2π[(3+2)3]=2π(2)=4πI=2\pi\left[(\sqrt3+2)-\sqrt3\right]=2\pi(2)=4\pi

Hence, the answer is Option B.

Q2 · 2026

Let f:[1,)Rf:[1, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a differentiable function. If 61xf(t)dt=3xf(x)+x346 \int\limits_1^x f(t) dt=3 x f(x)+x^3-4 for all x1x \geq 1, then the value of f(2)f(3)f(2)-f(3) is:

  • A.

    4

  • B.

    3

  • C.

    -4

  • D.

    -3

Answer: B
  1. Differentiate both sides of the given equation, using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus on the left and the product rule on the right. ddx[61xf(t)dt]=6f(x)\frac{d}{dx}\left[6\int_1^x f(t)\,dt\right]=6f(x) ddx[3xf(x)+x34]=3f(x)+3xf(x)+3x2\frac{d}{dx}\left[3xf(x)+x^3-4\right]=3f(x)+3xf'(x)+3x^2

  2. Equate the two derivatives and simplify. 6f(x)=3f(x)+3xf(x)+3x2    f(x)xf(x)=x26f(x)=3f(x)+3xf'(x)+3x^2\implies f(x)-xf'(x)=x^2

  3. Divide through by x2x^2, recognizing the left side as the derivative of f(x)x\frac{f(x)}{x}. f(x)xf(x)x2=1    ddx(f(x)x)=1\frac{f(x)-xf'(x)}{x^2}=1\implies \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{f(x)}{x}\right)=-1

  4. Integrate both sides. f(x)x=x+k    f(x)=x2+kx\frac{f(x)}{x}=-x+k\implies f(x)=-x^2+kx

  5. Use the boundary condition — setting x=1x=1 in the original equation gives f(1)=1f(1)=1, which fixes kk. 1=1+k    k=21=-1+k\implies k=2

  6. So the function is fully determined. f(x)=x2+2xf(x)=-x^2+2x

  7. Compute f(2)f(2) and f(3)f(3) and subtract. f(2)=0,f(3)=3f(2)=0,\qquad f(3)=-3 f(2)f(3)=0(3)=3f(2)-f(3)=0-(-3)=3

Hence, the answer is Option B.

Q3 · 2026

The value of π2π2(1[x]+4)dx\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\left(\frac{1}{[x]+4}\right) dx, where [][\cdot] denotes the greatest integer function, is:

  • A.

    160(21π1)\frac{1}{60}(21\pi-1)

  • B.

    760(3π1)\frac{7}{60}(3\pi-1)

  • C.

    160(π7)\frac{1}{60}(\pi-7)

  • D.

    760(π3)\frac{7}{60}(\pi-3)

Answer: B
  1. Break the interval [π/2,π/2][-\pi/2,\pi/2] at the integer points 1,0,1-1,0,1, since [x][x] is constant between consecutive integers.

  2. On [π/2,1)[-\pi/2,-1), [x]=2[x]=-2, so the integrand is constant. 1[x]+4=12\frac{1}{[x]+4}=\frac12

  3. On [1,0)[-1,0), [x]=1[x]=-1. 1[x]+4=13\frac{1}{[x]+4}=\frac13

  4. On [0,1)[0,1), [x]=0[x]=0. 1[x]+4=14\frac{1}{[x]+4}=\frac14

  5. On [1,π/2][1,\pi/2], [x]=1[x]=1. 1[x]+4=15\frac{1}{[x]+4}=\frac15

  6. Integrate each piece over its own subinterval and add the results. I=12(1+π2)+13(1)+14(1)+15(π21)I=\frac12\left(-1+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\frac13(1)+\frac14(1)+\frac15\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-1\right)

  7. Simplify each term. I=π412+13+14+π1015I=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12+\frac13+\frac14+\frac{\pi}{10}-\frac15

  8. Combine over a common denominator of 6060. I=21π760=760(3π1)I=\frac{21\pi-7}{60}=\frac{7}{60}(3\pi-1)

Hence, the answer is Option B.
