Question:

The value of $\int\limits_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}\left(p \sin ^3 x+q \sin ^4 x+r \sin ^5 x\right) d x$ depends on:

Options:

p

q

r

p and q

Correct Answer:

q

Explanation:

$I=\int\limits_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}\left(p \sin ^3 x+q \sin ^4 x+r \sin ^5 x\right) d x$

$=q \int\limits_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \sin ^4 x dx = q $ 

(Since sin3x and sin5x are odd functions)

Hence (2) is the correct answer.
