  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area \( = \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos x \, dx - \int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2} \cos x \, dx \) \( = [\sin x]_0^{\pi/2} - [\sin x]_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2} \) \( = (\sin(\pi/2) - \sin(0)) - (\sin(3\pi/2) - \sin(\pi/2)) \) \( = (1 - 0) - (-1 - 1) \) \( = 1 - (-2) \) \( = 3 \)
