Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required area \(=\int_{x=0}^{x=3 \pi} y d x=\int_{0}^{3 \pi} \sin \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) d x\)
Let \(\frac{x}{3}=t \Rightarrow d x=3 d t\)
Also, when
\(x=0\)
\(t=0\)
\(x=3 \pi\)
\(t=\pi\)
Then,
When
\(t=\pi\)
Then, required area
\(=\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin t(3 d t)=3[-\cos t]_{0}^{\pi}\)
\(=-3[\cos \pi-\cos 0]\)
\(=-3(-1-1)=-3(-2)=6\)
