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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(/=\int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}[\sin x \cdot \cos x] d x=\int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}\left[\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 x\right] d x\) Put \(\theta=2 x \Rightarrow d \theta=2 d x\) Also, when \(\quad x=-\pi / 2,\) then \(\theta=-\pi\) when \(\quad x=\frac{\pi}{2},\) then \(\theta=\pi\)…
