Answer Review
1 Let
F(x)=d/dx (∫₀ˣ t sin t dt).
By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (inverse operations), evaluate the numerical output of F(π/2).
Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. F(x)=x sin x. At x=π/2, sin(π/2)=1.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that d/dx[∫₀ˣ f(t)dt]=f(x). Thus F(x)=x sin x. Substituting x=π/2 gives F(π/2)=(π/2)×1=π/2. Hence Option B is correct. Options A, C, and D do not satisfy the direct substitution result obtained from the theorem.
- Option A → F(π/2) is not zero because sin(π/2)=1.
- Option C → Ignores the factor π/2 from x.
- Option D → Incorrectly doubles the actual value.
Used: Substitution
Application: First apply the Fundamental Theorem, then substitute x=π/2.
Final Logic: F(x)=x sin x ⇒ F(π/2)=π/2.
"Upper limit becomes the function."
2 Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding the difference between
∫d/dx[f(x)] dx and d/dx [∫f(x) dx]?
Integration introduces a constant. Differentiation of an integral does not. Therefore both results are not identical.
∫f'(x)dx=f(x)+C, whereas d/dx[∫f(x)dx]=f(x). The first expression contains an arbitrary constant while the second does not. Therefore Option C is incorrect. Options A, B, and D correctly describe the inverse relationship between differentiation and integration.
- Option A → Correct statement of anti-differentiation.
- Option B → Correct Fundamental Theorem result.
- Option D → Integration always determines a family of functions differing by constants.
Used: Odd One Out
Application: Compare the presence or absence of the integration constant.
Final Logic: Only Option C ignores the arbitrary constant.
"Integral adds C; derivative removes C."
3 Given
d/dx[sin²x]=sin2x and d/dx[−cos²x]=sin2x,
which of the following are correct?
1. ∫sin2x dx can be written as sin²x+C₁.
2. ∫sin2x dx can be written as −cos²x+C₂.
3. sin²x+cos²x depends strictly on the variable x.
Both functions differentiate to sin2x. Anti-derivatives differ by constants. sin²x+cos²x=1.
Since both sin²x and −cos²x have derivative sin2x, statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is false because sin²x+cos²x=1, a constant independent of x. Therefore only statements 1 and 2 are valid, making Option A correct.
- Option B → Statement 3 is false.
- Option C → Statement 2 is also true and cannot be omitted.
- Option D → Includes incorrect statement 3.
Used: Elimination
Application: Verify each statement individually using derivatives and identities.
Final Logic: Statements 1 and 2 true; statement 3 false.
"Same derivative ⇒ same family."
4 Two curves y=F(x) and y=G(x) are both anti-derivatives of f(x)=eˣ. If the definite area under F(x) from 0 to 1 is A₁, and it is known that G(x)=F(x)+3, what is the exact area under G(x) from 0 to 1?
G(x)=F(x)+3. Area increases by area of constant strip. Width is 1 unit.
The area under G(x) is ∫₀¹ [F(x)+3]dx =∫₀¹F(x)dx + ∫₀¹3dx =A₁+3(1−0) =A₁+3. Hence Option D is correct. The constant difference between anti-derivatives adds a rectangular area of height 3 and width 1.
- Option A → Ignores the added constant.
- Option B → Uses an incorrect rectangle area.
- Option C → e does not arise from the calculation.
Used: Dimensional/Unit Analysis
Application: Interpret the added constant as a rectangle under the curve.
Final Logic: Extra area = 3×1 = 3.
"Constant shift adds rectangle area."
5 Assertion (A):
∫(f(x)·g(x)) dx = ∫f(x) dx · ∫g(x) dx.
Reason (R): The integral of a quotient is simply the quotient of their integrals.
Integral of a product is not product of integrals. Integral of a quotient is not quotient of integrals. Both statements violate linearity rules.
Integration is linear over sums and constant multiples only. In general, ∫fg dx ≠ (∫f dx)(∫g dx) and ∫(f/g)dx ≠ (∫f dx)/(∫g dx). Therefore both the assertion and reason are false. NCERT integration rules never permit product or quotient separation.
- Option B → Assertion is false.
- Option C → Both statements are not true.
- Option D → Reason is also false.
Used: Extreme Word Filter
Application: Words like "simply" and universal equalities often indicate incorrect statements.
Final Logic: Integration preserves sums, not products or quotients.
"Sums split, products don't."
6 Match the complex linear additions with their integrated forms:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| 1. ∫(sec x tan x+1/x) dx | a. 3ˣ/ln3 + 4ˣ/ln4 + C |
| 2. ∫(eˣ−xᵉ) dx | b. sin⁻¹x − tan⁻¹x + C |
| 3. ∫(3ˣ+4ˣ) dx | c. sec x + ln|x| + C |
| 4. ∫(1/√(1−x²)−1/(1+x²)) dx | d. eˣ − x^(e+1)/(e+1) + C |
Apply standard integrals separately. Use linearity property. Match each result directly.
1→c because ∫sec x tan x dx=sec x and ∫1/x dx=ln|x|. 2→d by polynomial and exponential integration. 3→a using ∫aˣdx=aˣ/ln a. 4→b because ∫1/√(1−x²)dx=sin⁻¹x and ∫1/(1+x²)dx=tan⁻¹x.
- Option A → Multiple mismatches in standard integrals.
- Option B → First and fourth pairings are incorrect.
- Option D → None of the listed pairings match correctly.
Used: Option Grouping
Application: Evaluate each integral independently before matching.
Final Logic: Standard integral formulas uniquely determine the mapping.
"Sec-Tan→Sec, 1/x→Log."
7 If the area under f(x) represents physical work done, what does the geometrical interpretation of
∫5f(x) dx
represent compared to ∫f(x) dx?
Constant multiple scales function values. Area scales by same factor. Work becomes five times larger.
The constant multiple rule gives ∫5f(x)dx = 5∫f(x)dx. Geometrically, every ordinate becomes five times larger, producing vertical scaling. Since area under the curve scales proportionally, the interpreted work becomes five times the original value.
- Option A → Scaling is vertical, not horizontal.
- Option C → No vertical translation occurs.
- Option D → Area changes by a factor of five.
Used: Dimensional/Unit Analysis
Application: Compare scaling effects on area and physical quantities.
Final Logic: Multiplying function values by 5 multiplies area by 5.
"Constant outside = area multiplied."
8 Evaluate the scalar multiple applied to this vector derivative integral:
∫(2 d/dx(sin x) î −4 d/dx(eˣ) ĵ) dx.
Integrate derivatives directly. Integration reverses differentiation. Preserve scalar multiples.
Since ∫ d/dx(sin x) dx = sin x and ∫ d/dx(eˣ) dx = eˣ, the vector integral becomes 2sin x î−4eˣ ĵ+C⃗. Therefore Option B correctly applies inverse operations component-wise.
- Option A → Uses derivative instead of anti-derivative.
- Option C → Incorrect sign in the ĵ component.
- Option D → Incorrect trigonometric function and sign.
Used: Elimination
Application: Replace each derivative by its original function.
Final Logic: Integration undoes differentiation.
"Integral cancels derivative."
9 A firm's marginal cost data is given by
MC(x)=3x²−6x+9.
The total cost function is
C(x)=∫MC(x) dx.
If the fixed cost (when x=0) is C(0)=15, find the full expression for C(x).
Integrate marginal cost. Determine constant from C(0)=15. Obtain total cost function.
Integrating: C(x)=x³−3x²+9x+C. Using C(0)=15 gives C=15. Therefore C(x)=x³−3x²+9x+15. Option D correctly satisfies both the derivative condition and the initial cost condition.
- Option A → Derivative becomes 9x²−6x+9.
- Option B → Incorrect coefficient of x² term.
- Option C → Missing fixed-cost constant.
Used: Substitution
Application: Integrate first, then use C(0)=15.
Final Logic: Initial condition fixes the arbitrary constant.
"Marginal → Integrate → Add fixed cost."
10 Arrange the process to solve
∫(x³+5x²+4x+1)/x² dx:
1. Integrate each isolated term to get x²/2+5x+4ln|x|−1/x+C.
2. Divide each term in the numerator by x².
3. Apply general linearity to separate into four separate integrals.
4. Write the expanded integrand as x+5+4/x+1/x².
Simplify the rational expression first. Separate integrals next. Integrate term-wise.
The correct order is: 2 → Divide by x². 4 → Obtain x+5+4/x+1/x². 3 → Separate using linearity. 1 → Integrate each term individually. Hence the proper sequence is 2, 4, 3, 1, making Option C correct.
- Option A → Starts with the final answer.
- Option B → Separation occurs before complete simplification.
- Option D → Expansion cannot occur before division.
Used: Contextual/Tonal Matching
Application: Follow the natural algebra-to-integration workflow.
Final Logic: Simplify → Expand → Separate → Integrate.
"Divide → Expand → Split → Integrate."
11 If a continuous probability density function involves an integrand
∫2xe^(x²) dx,
by direct analytical inspection, what is the anti-derivative?
Derivative of x² is 2x. Integrand matches chain-rule pattern. Direct inspection gives the anti-derivative.
Since d/dx[e^(x²)] = e^(x²)·2x, the integrand 2xe^(x²) is exactly the derivative of e^(x²). Therefore the anti-derivative is e^(x²)+C. Option A correctly reverses differentiation, while the remaining options do not differentiate back to the given integrand.
- Option B → Differentiates to 4xe^(x²), not 2xe^(x²).
- Option C → Derivative is 2e^(2x), unrelated to the integrand.
- Option D → Product rule differentiation produces extra terms.
Used: Inspection Method
Application: Identify a function whose derivative exactly matches the integrand.
Final Logic: 2x is the derivative of x², giving e^(x²)+C.
"Inside derivative present ⇒ exponential stays."
12 Through reverse derivative search, what is the numerical coefficient of the x term in the integral of
∫tan²x dx?
(Hint: use the identity tan²x=sec²x−1)
Use tan²x=sec²x−1. Integrate term-wise. Result contains −x.
Using the identity tan²x = sec²x − 1, we get ∫tan²x dx = ∫sec²x dx − ∫1 dx = tan x − x + C. Hence the coefficient of x is −1. Therefore Option D is correct.
- Option A → Coefficient is not positive one.
- Option B → No factor 2 appears after integration.
- Option C → x-term is present and cannot vanish.
Used: Substitution
Application: Rewrite tan²x using a standard trigonometric identity.
Final Logic: tan x−x+C contains coefficient −1.
"Tan² = Sec² − 1."
13 Evaluate the general linear polynomial form:
∫(ax+b)² dx.
Let u=ax+b. Then du=a dx. Apply substitution formula.
Using u=ax+b, du=a dx ⇒ dx=du/a. Therefore, ∫(ax+b)²dx =(1/a)∫u²du =(1/a)(u³/3)+C =(ax+b)³/(3a)+C. Hence Option C is correct.
- Option A → Missing division by a.
- Option B → Represents a derivative-type expression.
- Option D → Missing factor 1/3 from integration.
Used: Substitution
Application: Replace the linear expression with a single variable.
Final Logic: u=ax+b gives (ax+b)³/(3a)+C.
"Linear inside ⇒ divide by derivative."
14 Evaluate the higher degree rational polynomial:
∫((x+1)(x−2))/√x dx.
Expand numerator first. Convert to fractional powers. Integrate term-wise.
\((x+1)(x-2)=x^{2}-x-2\) Dividing by √x: \(x^{3/2}-x^{1/2}-2x^{-1/2}\) Integrating: \(\frac{2}{5}x^{5/2}-\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}-4x^{1/2}+C\) Therefore Option D is correct.
- Option A → Wrong signs for the last two terms.
- Option B → Middle term sign incorrect.
- Option C → Incorrect coefficients from power-rule integration.
Used: Elimination
Application: Expand, simplify exponents, then integrate.
Final Logic: Power rule produces Option D exactly.
"Expand → Fractional powers → Integrate."
15
∫u v dx=u∫v dx−∫(u'∫v dx)dx.
It is exceptionally useful for logarithmic and inverse trigonometric functions, which do not have straightforward primitive forms. For instance, to integrate log x, we mathematically treat 1 as the second function.
Use integration by parts. Take u=log x and dv=dx. Apply the standard formula.
Using integration by parts: u=log x, dv=dx ⇒ du=dx/x, v=x. Hence, ∫log x dx =xlog x−∫1 dx =xlog x−x+C. Therefore Option B is the standard NCERT result.
- Option A → Derivative does not equal log x.
- Option C → Sign error after applying integration by parts.
- Option D → Derivative gives (log x)/x.
Used: Substitution
Application: Apply the standard integration-by-parts formula.
Final Logic: xlog x−x+C differentiates to log x.
"Log becomes xlog x minus x."
16
∫u v dx=u∫v dx−∫(u'∫v dx)dx.
It is exceptionally useful for logarithmic and inverse trigonometric functions, which do not have straightforward primitive forms. For instance, to integrate log x, we mathematically treat 1 as the second function.
∫xlog x dx,
what is the analytical result?
Use integration by parts. Let u=log x and dv=x dx. Simplify carefully.
Take u=log x, dv=x dx. Then du=dx/x, v=x²/2. Therefore, ∫xlog x dx =(x²/2)log x−(1/2)∫x dx =(x²/2)log x−x²/4+C. Thus Option A is correct.
- Option B → Wrong sign in the second term.
- Option C → Missing factor x²/2 before log x.
- Option D → Incorrect integration of x.
Used: Substitution
Application: Apply integration by parts systematically.
Final Logic: uv−∫vdu yields Option A.
"Log first, polynomial second."
17 Evaluate
∫(sin²x)/(1+cos x) dx.
Simplify using identities. sin²x=(1−cos²x). Cancel common factors.
\(\frac{{sin}^{2}x}{1+cosx}=\frac{\left(1-cosx)(1+cosx\right)}{1+cosx}=1-cosx\) Therefore, \(\int (1-cosx)dx=x-sinx+C.\) Hence Option A is correct.
- Option B → Sign of sin x is incorrect.
- Option C → Differentiation does not return the integrand.
- Option D → Signs and terms are incorrect.
Used: Elimination
Application: Simplify the trigonometric expression before integrating.
Final Logic: Integrand reduces to 1−cos x.
"Factor, cancel, integrate."
18 Evaluate
∫√(1+sin 2x) dx
inside an interval where sin x+cos x>0.
Use identity for sin2x. Simplify the square root. Apply interval condition.
\(1+sin2x=1+2sinxcosx=(sinx+cosx)^{2}\) Since \(sinx+cosx>0\), \(\sqrt{1+sin2x}=sinx+cosx.\) Thus \(\int (sinx+cosx)dx=-cosx+sinx+C\) which equals Option D.
- Option A → Differentiates to cos x−sin x.
- Option B → Derivative gives −cos x−sin x.
- Option C → Derivative gives −sin x−cos x.
Used: Substitution
Application: Convert the expression into a perfect square identity.
Final Logic: √(1+sin2x)=sin x+cos x.
"1+sin2x = (sin+cos)²."
19 A particle's acceleration is
a(t)=6t.
It starts from rest at the origin (v(0)=0, s(0)=0). What is the exact position function s(t)?
Integrate acceleration to get velocity. Use v(0)=0. Integrate velocity to get position.
Given a(t)=6t, integrating gives v(t)=3t²+C₁. Using v(0)=0 gives C₁=0. Again integrating, s(t)=t³+C₂. Using s(0)=0 gives C₂=0. Hence s(t)=t³ and Option C is correct.
- Option A → Represents velocity-like behavior.
- Option B → Violates s(0)=0.
- Option D → Differentiation twice gives 36t, not 6t.
Used: Substitution
Application: Apply initial conditions after each integration step.
Final Logic: Double integration yields s(t)=t³.
"Acceleration → Velocity → Position."
20 If
∫1/(x²+a²) dx=f(x)+C,
and f(a)=π/4a, what is f(x)?
Use the standard integral formula. Substitute x=a to verify. Match the given condition.
The standard result is \(\int \frac{dx}{x^{2}+a^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)+C.\) At x=a, \(f(a)=\frac{1}{a}{tan}^{-1}(1)=\frac{1}{a}⋅\frac{\pi }{4}=\frac{\pi }{4a}.\) Hence Option B satisfies the condition exactly.
- Option A → Missing factor 1/a.
- Option C → Uses the wrong inverse trigonometric function.
- Option D → Incorrect scaling factor.
Used: Option Grouping
Application: Compare options with the standard NCERT formula.
Final Logic: Standard integral directly matches Option B.
"x²+a² ⇒ (1/a)tan⁻¹(x/a)."
