Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let. \[ \begin{aligned} I &=\int_{0}^{2} x^{2}[x] d x \\ &=\int_{0}^{1} x^{2} \cdot 0 d x+\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} \times 1 d x \\ &=\left[\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{1}^{2}=\left[\frac{8}{3}-\frac{1}{3}\right]=\frac{7}{3} \end{aligned} \]
