Correct Answer :

0

Solution :

The correct answer is 0.

Given Functions:
We are given two functions defined on the interval [0, π/2]:
f(x)=sin2x
g(x)=πx2x2

Expression to Evaluate:
We need to evaluate the integral expression:
I=20π/2f(x)g(x)dx0π/2g(x)dx

Let us consider the first definite integral:
I1=0π/2f(x)g(x)dx=0π/2sin2x·g(x)dx

Applying King's Property of Definite Integrals:
Using the property abh(x)dx=abh(a+bx)dx, we replace x with π2x.

First, let us examine gπ2x:
gπ2x=π2π2xπ2x2
=π24πx2π24πx+x2
=πx2x2=g(x)

Thus, g(x) is symmetric about x=π4, i.e., gπ2x=g(x).

Now apply King's Property to I1:
I1=0π/2sin2π2x·gπ2xdx
I1=0π/2cos2x·g(x)dx

Adding the two forms of I1:
2I1=0π/2sin2x·g(x)dx+0π/2cos2x·g(x)dx
2I1=0π/2sin2x+cos2xg(x)dx
Since sin2x+cos2x=1, we have:
2I1=0π/2g(x)dx

Final Calculation:
Substitute 2I1=20π/2f(x)g(x)dx back into our target expression I:
I=20π/2f(x)g(x)dx0π/2g(x)dx
I=0π/2g(x)dx0π/2g(x)dx=0
