    The value of the integral \[\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{{{(\cos ax-\sin bx)}^{2}}dx}\], (a and b are integer) is                                            [UPSEAT 2001]

    A)                 \[-\pi \]

    B)                 0

    C)                 \[\pi \] 

    D)                 \[2\pi \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{{{(\cos ax-\sin bx)}^{2}}dx}\]                    \[I=\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{({{\cos }^{2}}ax+{{\sin }^{2}}bx-2\cos \,ax\,\,\sin bx)\,\,dx}\]            \[I=\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{({{\cos }^{2}}ax+{{\sin }^{2}}bx)\,\,dx}-\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }{2\cos ax\sin bx\,\,dx}\]            \[I=2\int_{0}^{\pi }{({{\cos }^{2}}ax+{{\sin }^{2}}bx)\,\,dx}-0\]            \[I=2\int_{0}^{\pi }{\left( \frac{1+\cos 2ax}{2}+\frac{1-\cos 2bx}{2} \right)\,dx}\]                                 \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi \,}{\left( 2+\cos 2ax-\cos 2bx \right)\,dx}=2\pi .\]
