    \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\sqrt{\cos \theta }{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }\,d\theta =\]

    A)                 \[\frac{20}{21}\]              

    B)                 \[\frac{8}{21}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{-20}{21}\]            

    D)                 \[\frac{-8}{21}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\sqrt{\cos \theta }}{{\sin }^{3}}\theta \,\,d\theta \]                    Put \[t=\cos \theta \Rightarrow dt=-\sin \theta \,\,d\theta ,\] then                    I =\[-\int_{1}^{0}{{{t}^{1/2}}(1-{{t}^{2}})dt=\int_{0}^{1}{({{t}^{1/2}}-{{t}^{5/2}})}}\]\[dt\]                                 I = \[\left[ \frac{2}{3}{{t}^{3/2}}-\frac{2}{7}{{t}^{7/2}} \right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{8}{21}\].
