Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(x)=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{x}) \\
& \mathrm{g}(x)+\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{a}-x)=4 \\
& \text { Let } \mathrm{I}=\int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{g}(x) \mathrm{d} x \\
& =\int_0^a f(a-x) \cdot g(a-x) d x \\
& =\int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \cdot[(4-\mathrm{g}(x)] \mathrm{d} x \\
& =4 \int_0^a \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x-\int_0^a \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{g}(x) \mathrm{d} x \\
& \mathrm{I}=4 \int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x-\mathrm{I} \\
& 2 \mathrm{I}=4 \int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{I}=2 \int_0^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x
\end{aligned}\)
