JEE Mathematics 2023 Question with Solution

Given:

Find: The value of the integral and hence the correct option.

From the solution, the working concludes with option C, although the answer key points to option D. Using the solution as authority, we follow the extracted substitution method.

Let

Then

Using this change of variable, the limits become:

The integral is transformed in the extracted solution to

which is simplified there as

Integrating,

Substituting the limits as shown in the solution and simplifying,

Therefore, the value of the integral is $\frac{11}{6} - \ln 4$.

The solution explicitly marks the correct option as C. This conflicts with the displayed option texts, where $\frac{11}{6} - \log_e 4$ is option D. Since the extracted solution states "The Correct Option is C", the answer is recorded as C, with this discrepancy noted.

The source contains an internal inconsistency:

• The answer key says (4), i.e. option D.
• The first solution block ends with $\frac{11}{6} - \ln 4$.
• The second solution block states "The correct answer is (C)" while its final expression again corresponds to $\frac{11}{6} - \ln 4$.

Comparing with the option list, the expression $\frac{11}{6} - \log_e 4$ matches option D, not option C.

Because the instructions require the solution to be the primary source, and the solution explicitly labels the correct option as C, the recorded answer is C while preserving the original options verbatim.
