    \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{x{{\sin }^{3}}x\,dx}=\]                                  [CEE 1993]

    A)                 \[\frac{4\pi }{3}\]            

    B)                 \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]

    C)                 0             

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Let \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{x{{\sin }^{3}}x\,dx}\]                              ?..(i)            Also \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi }{(\pi -x){{\sin }^{3}}x\,\,dx}\]            ?..(ii)                    Adding (i) and (ii), we get                    \[2I=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi }{{{\sin }^{3}}x}\,\,dx=\frac{\pi }{4}\int_{0}^{\pi }{\{3\sin x-\sin 3x\}dx}\]                       \[=\frac{\pi }{4}\left[ -3\cos x+\frac{\cos 3x}{3} \right]_{0}^{\pi }=\frac{\pi }{4}\left[ 3-\frac{1}{3}+3-\frac{1}{3} \right]=\frac{4\pi }{3}\]                                 Hence, \[I=\frac{2\pi }{3}\].
