JEE Main 2025 — 23 January, Evening Shift — Question 19

If I=∫0π2sin⁡32xsin⁡32x+cos⁡32xdxI=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin ^{\frac{3}{2}} x}{\sin ^{\frac{3}{2}} x+\cos ^{\frac{3}{2}} x} d x, then ∫021xsin⁡xcos⁡xsin⁡4x+cos⁡4xdx\int_{0}^{21} \frac{x \sin x \cos x}{\sin ^{4} x+\cos ^{4} x} d x equals:

  1. Option A:

    π216\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    π24\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}

  3. Option C:

    π28\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}

  4. Option D:

    π212\frac{\pi^{2}}{12}

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

For I

Apply king ( P−5\mathrm{P}-5 ) and add

2I=∫0π/2dx=π2⇒I=π42 \mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\frac{\pi}{4}

I2=∫0π/2xsin⁡xcos⁡xsin⁡4x+cos⁡4xdxI_{2}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{x \sin x \cos x}{\sin ^{4} x+\cos ^{4} x} d x

Apply king and add

I2=π4∫0π/2tan⁡xsec⁡2xdxtan⁡4x+1\mathrm{I}_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4} \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\tan \mathrm{x} \sec ^{2} \mathrm{xdx}}{\tan ^{4} \mathrm{x}+1}

put tan⁡2x=t\tan ^{2} x=t

π8∫0∞dtt2+1=π8⋅π2=π216\begin{aligned} & \frac{\pi}{8} \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}^{2}+1}\\ = & \frac{\pi}{8} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{16} \end{aligned}
