Solution :

The correct option that is NOT true for all possible non-zero choices of real numbers p, q (p ≠ q) is:

12ππ/2π/2sinpθsinqθdθ=0


Step-by-Step Analysis of Each Option:

1. Analyzing the First Option:
1π0πsinmθsinnθdθ=0
For distinct non-zero integers m and n (m ≠ n), using the trigonometric identity:
sinmθsinnθ=12[cos(mn)θcos(m+n)θ]
Integrating over [0, π]:
0πsinmθsinnθdθ=12[sin(mn)θmnsin(m+n)θm+n]0π
Since m and n are integers, sin((m - n)π) = 0 and sin((m + n)π) = 0. Thus, this integral equals 0 for all distinct non-zero integers. Therefore, this statement is TRUE.

2. Analyzing the Second Option:
12ππ/2π/2sinpθsinqθdθ
Here, p and q are arbitrary real numbers (p ≠ q). Using the product identity:
π/2π/2sinpθsinqθdθ=12π/2π/2[cos(pq)θcos(p+q)θ]dθ
Evaluating the integral:
=sin((pq)π/2)pqsin((p+q)π/2)p+q
For arbitrary real numbers p and q (for example, taking p = 2 and q = 4):
sin((24)π/2)=sin(π)=0
sin((2+4)π/2)=sin(3π)=0
However, if we pick p = 1 and q = 3:
sin(π)=0 and sin(2π)=0
If we pick p = 2 and q = 1:
sin(π/2)=1 and sin(3π/2)=1
Thus, the integral evaluates to:
1113=1+13=430
Hence, this integral is NOT zero for all possible non-zero real choices of p and q (p ≠ q). Therefore, this statement is NOT TRUE.

3. Analyzing the Third Option:
12πππsinpθcosqθdθ=0
Here, sin(pθ) is an odd function of θ and cos(qθ) is an even function of θ. The product of an odd function and an even function is always an odd function.
The integral of any odd function over a symmetric interval [-π, π] is strictly equal to 0 for all choices of real numbers p and q. Therefore, this statement is TRUE.

4. Analyzing the Fourth Option:
limα12αααsinpθsinqθdθ=0
Evaluating the inner integral:
ααsinpθsinqθθ=sin((pq)α)pqsin((pq)α)p+q
Since sine values are bounded between -1 and 1, the numerator remains bounded as α → ∞. Dividing by 2α and taking the limit gives 0 for any distinct real numbers p ≠ q. Therefore, this statement is TRUE.

Conclusion:
The statement in Option 2 is not true for all non-zero real choices of p and q.
