Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{2}( \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2} ) $

B) $ \frac{1}{2}( \sqrt{2}-1 ) $

C) $ \frac{1}{2}( \sqrt{3}-1 ) $

D) $ \frac{1}{2}( \sqrt{3}+1 ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ g(x)=\cos x^{2},f(x)=\sqrt{x} $

$ y=g(f(x))=\cos x $ $ 18x^{2}-9\pi x+{{\pi }^{2}}=0 $

$ 18x^{2}-6\pi x-3\pi x+{{\pi }^{2}}=0 $

$ (6x-\pi )(3x-\pi )=0 $ $ x=\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{\pi }{3} $

$ \alpha =\frac{\pi }{6},\beta =\frac{\pi }{3} $

Req. Area $ =\int _{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}{\cos x.dx=[\sin x] _{\pi /6}^{\pi /3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}} $
