MCQMediumJEE 2024Definite Integrals

Evaluate the following limit:

$\lim_{x \to \pi/2} \frac{\int_{(\pi/2)^3}^{x^3} \left(\sin\left(2t^{1/3}\right) + \cos\left(t^{1/3}\right)\right) \, dt}{\left(x - \pi/2\right)^2}$

A
$9\pi^2/8$
B
$11\pi^2/10$
C
$3\pi^2/2$
D
$5\pi^2/9$

Answer

Correct answer:A

Step-by-step solution

Solution with extracted answer note

Given: The limit is

\lim_{x \to \pi/2} \frac{\int_{(\pi/2)^3}^{x^3} \left(\sin\left(2t^{1/3}\right) + \cos\left(t^{1/3}\right)\right) \, dt}{\left(x - \pi/2\right)^2}

Find: The correct option.

The solution is unrelated to this calculus question and discusses group 14 elements instead. However, it explicitly states "The Correct Option is A" and also says "Thus the correct answer is Option 1."

Because the worked solution content does not match the question, no valid mathematical derivation can be extracted from the solution. Using the answer indication present in the supplied page, the correct option is A.

Therefore, the answer is $9\pi^2/8$ .

Common mistakes

Applying L'Hospital's rule directly to the integral expression without first recognizing the variable upper limit can hide the actual structure. First rewrite the numerator as a function of $x$ using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Differentiating $\int_{(\pi/2)^3}^{x^3} f(t) \, dt$ as if the upper limit were only $x$ is incorrect. Because the upper limit is $x^3$ , the chain rule must be used after the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Substituting $x = \pi/2$ too early can produce a misleading $0/0$ form without simplification. First analyze the order of the numerator near $x = \pi/2$ and compare it with the denominator $\left(x-\pi/2\right)^2$ .
