The value of the integral $\int_{-2}^{2} \frac{\sin ^{2} x}{\left[\frac{x}{\pi}\right]+\frac{1}{2}} d x$ (where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x) is
  1. 0
  2. $\sin 4$
  3. 4
  4. $4-\sin 4$

Solution

Let $f(x)=\frac{\sin ^{2} x}{\left[\frac{x}{\pi}\right]+\frac{1}{2}}$. $\begin{array}{l} \text { So, } f(-x)=\frac{\sin ^{2}(-x)}{\left[\frac{-x}{\pi}\right]+\frac{1}{2}} \quad \because[-x]=-1-[x] \\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=\frac{\sin ^{2} x}{-1-\left[\frac{x}{\pi}\right]+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\sin ^{2} x}{-\frac{1}{2}-\left[\frac{x}{\pi}\right]}=-f(x) \end{array}$ $\Rightarrow f(x)$ is odd function Hence, $\int_{-2}^{2} f(x) d x=0$
