JEE Advanced 2021 · Paper 2, Mathematics question 3

Let f:[−π2,π2]→Rf: \left[-\frac\pi2, \frac\pi2\right] \to \mathbb R be a continuous function such that
f(0)=1and∫0π/3f(t) dt=0f(0) = 1 \quad\text{and}\quad \int_0^{\pi/3} f(t)\,dt = 0
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

Choose one or more options
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A, B, C

(A) Let h(x)=f(x)−3cos⁡3xh(x)=f(x)-3\cos3x. Then
∫0π/3h=0−[sin⁡3x]0π/3=0.\int_0^{\pi/3}h=0-[\sin3x]_0^{\pi/3}=0.
A continuous function with zero integral over an interval vanishes somewhere inside it. True.

(B) Let h(x)=f(x)−3sin⁡3x+6πh(x)=f(x)-3\sin3x+\frac6\pi. Then
∫0π/3h=0−[−cos⁡3x]0π/3+6π⋅π3=0−2+2=0,\int_0^{\pi/3}h=0-[-\cos3x]_0^{\pi/3}+\frac6\pi\cdot\frac\pi3=0-2+2=0,
so again hh vanishes somewhere in (0,π3)(0,\frac\pi3). True.

(C) Near 0, ∫0xf≈xf(0)=x\int_0^xf\approx xf(0)=x, so the numerator is about x2x^2 while 1−ex2≈−x21-e^{x^2}\approx-x^2. The limit is −1-1. True.

(D) Here sin⁡x∫0xf≈x2\sin x\int_0^xf\approx x^2, so the limit is +1+1, not −1-1. False.

(A), (B), (C)
