For $0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$, the value of $ \int_0^{\sin ^2 x} \sin ^{-1}(\sqrt{t}) d t+\int_0^{\cos ^2 x} \cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{t}) d t \text { equals : } $
  1. $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. $-\frac{\pi}{4}$

Solution

Consider $ \int_0^{\sin ^2 x} \sin ^{-1}(\sqrt{t}) d t+\int_0^{\cos ^2 x} \cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{t}) d t $ Let $\mathrm{I}=f(x)$ after integrating and putting the limits. $ \begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=\sin ^{-1} \sqrt{\sin ^2 x}(2 \sin x \cos x)-0 \\ &\quad+\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{\cos ^2 x}(-2 \cos x \sin x)-0 \\ &\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow f(x)=\mathrm{C} \quad \text { (constant) } \end{aligned} $ Now, we find $f(x)$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ $ \begin{aligned} \therefore \mathrm{I} &=\int_0^{1 / 2} \sin ^{-1} \sqrt{t} d t+\int_0^{1 / 2} \cos ^{-1} \sqrt{t} d t \\ &=\int_0^{1 / 2}\left(\sin ^{-1} \sqrt{t}+\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{t}\right) d t \\ &=\int_0^{1 / 2} \frac{\pi}{2} d t=\frac{\pi}{4}=\mathrm{C} \\ \therefore \quad f(x)=\frac{\pi}{4} \\ \therefore \text { Required integration }=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{aligned} $
