Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{15}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints : \(I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^4 \mathrm{x} d \mathrm{dx} \quad \cos \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{f}, \sin \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{dt}\) \(=-\int_1^0\left(1-t^2\right) d t=\int_0^2\left(t^4-2 t^2+1\right) d t\)…
