    If \[f(x)=f(a-x)\] and \[g(x)+g(a-x)=2,\]then the value of \[\int\limits_{0}^{a}{f(x)g(x)dx}\] is

    A) \[\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)dx}\]                

    B)  \[\int_{0}^{a}{g(x)dx}\]              

    C)         \[\int_{0}^{a}{[g(x)-f(x)]dx}\]

    D)         \[\int_{0}^{a}{[g(x)+f(x)]dx}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that \[f(x)=f(a-x)\]             ?(i) and  \[g(x)+g(a-x)=2\]   ?(ii) Now, let \[I=\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)g(x)dx}\]                                 \[=\int_{0}^{a}{f(a-x)g(a-x)dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)[2-g(x)]dx}\]                                 [using (i) and (ii)]                 \[=\int_{0}^{a}{2f(x)dx-\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)g(x)dx}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\int_{0}^{a}{2f(x)dx-I}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2I=\int_{0}^{a}{2f(x)dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)dx}\] Note:\[\int_{0}^{a}{f(x)dx=\int_{0}^{a}{f(a-x)dx.}}\]
