Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2009 PYQ

Solution

Let $I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \sin x}{1+\cos^2 x}dx$ 
 Use property: $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} f(x)dx = \int_{0}^{\pi} f(\pi - x)dx$ 
 Compute 
$f(\pi - x) = \dfrac{(\pi - x)\sin(\pi - x)}{1 + \cos^2(\pi - x)} = \dfrac{(\pi - x)\sin x}{1 + \cos^2 x}$ 
 Add them: $f(x) + f(\pi - x) = \dfrac{\pi \sin x}{1 + \cos^2 x}$ 
 So, $2I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\pi \sin x}{1 + \cos^2 x}dx$ 
 Let $u = \cos x$, $du = -\sin x,dx$. 
When $x=0$, $u=1$, and when $x=\pi$, $u=-1$: 
$2I = \pi \displaystyle \int_{1}^{-1} \frac{-du}{1+u^2}$ 
$2I = \pi \displaystyle \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{du}{1+u^2}$ 
 This equals: $2I = \pi\left[\tan^{-1}u\right]_{-1}^{1} = \pi\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4} - \left(-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\right)$ 
$2I = \pi \cdot \dfrac{\pi}{2} = \dfrac{\pi^2}{2}$ 
 So, $I = \dfrac{\pi^2}{4}$

Phrases PYQ

Solution

On the interval $0 \le x \le 1$: 
$ x^3 < x^2 \Rightarrow 2^{x^3} < 2^{x^2} $ 
So, $ I_2 = \displaystyle \int_0^1 2^{x^3},dx < \int_0^1 2^{x^2}dx = I_1 $ 
Thus, $ I_1 > I_2 $ 

 On the interval $1 \le x \le 2$: 
$ x^3 > x^2 \Rightarrow 2^{x^3} > 2^{x^2} $ 
So, $ I_4 = \displaystyle \int_1^2 2^{x^3}dx > \int_1^2 2^{x^2}dx = I_3 $ 
Thus, $ I_4 > I_3 $

Solution

Let $I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log \tan x  dx$  
Using property $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} f(x)dx = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} f\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-x\right)dx$ 
$I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-x\right) dx$ 
$= \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log \cot x  dx$ 
$= \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log\left(\dfrac{1}{\tan x}\right) dx$ 
$= \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} [-\log \tan x]  dx$ 
$I= -I$ 
$\Rightarrow I + I = 0 \Rightarrow 2I = 0 \Rightarrow I = 0$ 
Answer: $0$

Phrases PYQ
The value of $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\sin^2 x} \sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt + \int_{0}^{\cos^2 x} \cos^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt$ is:





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2012 PYQ

Solution

Use the identity:
 $\sin^{-1}y+\cos^{-1}y=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ 
So: $\cos^{-1}\sqrt{t}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}$ 
Now substitute: $I=\displaystyle\int_0^{\sin^2 x}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}  dt + \int_0^{\cos^2 x} \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}\right) dt$ 
$I=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\cos^2 x + \int_0^{\sin^2 x}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}dt - \int_0^{\cos^2 x}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt$ 
Combine integrals: $I=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\cos^2 x + \int_{\cos^2 x}^{\sin^2 x}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt$ 
But: $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$ 
Limits become from $1$ to $0$: 
$I=\dfrac{\pi}{2}(1 - \sin^2 x) + \int_{1}^{0}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt$ 

$I=\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \int_0^{1}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt$ 

Let $u=\sqrt{t}$, 
$dt=2udu$: 

$\displaystyle \int_0^{1}\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t} dt = 2\int_0^{1} u\sin^{-1}udu$ 

Standard result: $\displaystyle 2\int_0^{1} u\sin^{-1}u du = \dfrac{\pi}{4}$ 

Thus: $I = \dfrac{\pi}{2} - \dfrac{\pi}{4} = \dfrac{\pi}{4}$

Phrases PYQ
If $a$ is a positive integer, then the number of values satisfying $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \left[ a^{2}\left(\frac{\cos 3x}{4}+\frac{3}{4}\cos x\right)+a\sin x - 20\cos x \right] dx \le -\frac{a^{2}}{3} $ is

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2011 PYQ

Solution

$ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \cos 3x, dx = \frac{1}{3},;; \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \cos x, dx = 1,;; \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin x, dx = 1 $ So integral becomes $ \displaystyle a^{2}\left(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{3}{4}\right)+a - 20 = \frac{5a^{2}}{6} + a - 20 $ Given $ \displaystyle \frac{5a^{2}}{6}+a-20 \le -\frac{a^{2}}{3} $ $ \displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{7a^{2}}{6} + a - 20 \le 0 $ Multiply by 6: $ 7a^{2} + 6a - 120 \le 0 $ Roots: $ a = \frac{26}{7} \approx 3.714 $ So valid positive integers: $ a = 1,,2,,3 $

The value of $\frac{d}{dx}\int ^{2\sin x}_{\sin {x}^2}{e}^{{t}^2}dt$ at $x=\pi$





Go to Discussion

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

We want to find $\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{\sin^2 x}^{2\sin x} e^{t^2}, dt\right)$ at $x=\pi$. 
Using Leibniz rule: $\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t) dt\right) = f(b(x)) b'(x) ;-; f(a(x)) a'(x)$ 

Here $a(x)=\sin^2 x$, $b(x)=2\sin x$, $f(t)=e^{t^2}$. 
Compute derivatives:
$a'(x)=2\sin x\cos x$ 
$b'(x)=2\cos x$ 
So the derivative is: 
$e^{(2\sin x)^2}(2\cos x)-e^{(\sin^2 x)^2}(2\sin x\cos x)$ 

Now evaluate at $x=\pi$
$\sin\pi=0,\quad \cos\pi=-1$ 

Thus: $b'(\pi)=2(-1)=-2$ 
$a'(\pi)=0$ 

Therefore: $e^{0}(-2)-e^{0}(0)=-2$ 
So the final answer is: $-2$

Solution

Let $I=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}x^{3}\sin x\,dx$.

Using integration by parts: let $u=x^{3},\; dv=\sin x\,dx$ $\Rightarrow du=3x^{2}dx,\; v=-\cos x$

$I = [-x^{3}\cos x]_0^{\pi} + \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}3x^{2}\cos x\,dx$

Now, let $J=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}x^{2}\cos x\,dx$

Again, by parts: $u=x^{2},\; dv=\cos x\,dx \Rightarrow du=2x\,dx,\; v=\sin x$

$J = [x^{2}\sin x]_0^{\pi} - \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}2x\sin x\,dx$

Let $K=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}x\sin x\,dx$ By parts: $u=x,\; dv=\sin x\,dx \Rightarrow du=dx,\; v=-\cos x$

$K=[-x\cos x]_0^{\pi}+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos x\,dx = \pi$

So $J=0-2K=-2\pi$

Then $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}3x^{2}\cos x\,dx = 3J = -6\pi$

$I = [-x^{3}\cos x]_0^{\pi} + 3J = (-\pi^{3}\cos\pi - 0) - 6\pi = \pi^{3} - 6\pi$

Answer: $\boxed{\pi^{3} - 6\pi}$ ✅

Let $t=1-x \Rightarrow x=1-t,\ dx=-dt$. 

As $x:0\to1$, 

$t:1\to0$.

\[ \int_{0}^{1} x(1-x)^n\,dx \] 

\[       = \int_{1}^{0} (1-t)\,t^n\,(-dt) \] 

\[= \int_{0}^{1} \big(t^n - t^{n+1}\big)\,dt \] 

\[       = \left[\frac{t^{n+1}}{n+1}-\frac{t^{n+2}}{n+2}\right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}. \]

Simplify: \[ \frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}=\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}. \]

Phrases Previous Year PYQ Phrases NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

We need to evaluate $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{1 + 2\cos x}{(2 + \cos x)^2}\, dx $. 
Let $ t = 2 + \cos x $. Then $ dt = -\sin x\, dx $. 
But the integral has no $\sin x$, so rewrite numerator: 
 $ 1 + 2\cos x = (2 + \cos x) - 1 = t - 1 $. 
 Now express $ dx $ using $ \sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x $, but the standard trick is to differentiate: 
 $ \dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\dfrac{1}{2+\cos x}\right) = -\dfrac{-\sin x}{(2+\cos x)^2} = \dfrac{\sin x}{(2+\cos x)^2}. $ We 
use complementary substitution: 
 Let $ x = \frac{\pi}{2} - y $. 
 Then $\cos x = \sin y$ and $\sin x = \cos y$. 
 Integral becomes: 
 $ I = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{1 + 2\sin y}{(2 + \sin y)^2}\, dy. $ 
 Average the two forms: 
 $ I = \frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \left[ \frac{1 + 2\cos x}{(2 + \cos x)^2} + \frac{1 + 2\sin x}{(2 + \sin x)^2} \right] dx. $ 
 Now observe identity: 
 $ \frac{1 + 2\cos x}{(2 + \cos x)^2} + \frac{1 + 2\sin x}{(2 + \sin x)^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\sin x - \cos x}{(2+\cos x)(2+\sin x)}\right). $ 
 Thus integral becomes a telescoping form and evaluates to: 
 $ I = \left[ \frac{\sin x - \cos x}{(2+\cos x)(2+\sin x)} \right]_{0}^{\pi/2}. $ 
 Now compute: 
 At $ x = \frac{\pi}{2}$: $ \sin x = 1,\;\cos x = 0 $ 
 Expression = $ \dfrac{1 - 0}{(2+0)(2+1)} = \dfrac{1}{6}. $ 
 At $ x = 0$: $ \sin 0 = 0,\;\cos 0 = 1 $ 
 Expression = $ \dfrac{0 - 1}{(2+1)(2+0)} = -\dfrac{1}{6}. $ 
 Therefore: $ I = \dfrac{1}{6} - (-\dfrac{1}{6}) = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}. $ 
 Final Answer: $\dfrac{1}{3} $
