  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text {} \int_x^1(1-t) d t=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow\left[t-\frac{t^2}{2}\right]_x^1=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow\left[1-\frac{1}{2}-x+\frac{x^2}{2}\right]=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1-2 x+x^2}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow(1-x)^2=1 \\ & \Rightarrow 1-x= \pm…
