Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A is true, R is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In=∫cotnxdx =∫cotn-2xcot2xdx =∫cotn-2xcosec2xdx-∫cotn-2xdx =I-In-2 Here, I=∫cotn-2xcosec2xdx Let cotx=t; cosec2xdx=-dt i.e. I=-∫tn-2dt=tn-11-n=cotn-1x1-n I.e. In=cotn-1x1-n-In-2 ⇒I6+I4=-cot5x5 Hence, assertion is true but reason is…
