Question : 46 of 62

Marks: +1, -0

Which one of the following is correct ?

$A = 2B$
$B = 2A$
$A = B$
$A = 3B$

Solution:

A = \int\limits_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\sin x}{\sin x + \cos x} \, dx

Using property (iv)

A = \int\limits_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\sin(\pi - x)}{\sin(\pi - x) + \cos(\pi - x)} \, dx

A \int\limits_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\sin x}{\sin x - \cos x} \, dx = B

A = B
