Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}\left(\sin ^{100} x-\cos ^{100} x\right) d x\)
\[
\begin{aligned}
&=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \sin ^{100} x d x-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{100} x d x \\
&=\left[\frac{(\sin x)^{101}}{101} \cdot \cos x\right]_{0}^{\pi / 2} \\
&-\left[\frac{(\cos x)^{101}}{101}(-\sin x)\right]_{0}^{\pi / 2} \\
&=0+0=0
\end{aligned}
