    The value of \[\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{2/3}}x}{{{\sin }^{2/3}}x+{{\cos }^{2/3}}x}dx}\] is            [RPET 2001]

    A)                 \[\pi /4\]             

    B)                 \[\pi /2\]

    C)                 \[3\pi /4\]          

    D)                 \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{2/3}}x}{{{\sin }^{2/3}}x+{{\cos }^{2/3}}x}dx}\]            or \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{2/3}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}{{{\sin }^{2/3}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)+{{\cos }^{2/3}}\left( \frac{\pi }{2}-x \right)}dx}\]            or \[I=\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\cos }^{2/3}}x}{{{\cos }^{2/3}}x+{{\sin }^{2/3}}x}}dx\]            Therefore, \[2I=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{({{\sin }^{2/3}}x+{{\cos }^{2/3}}x)}{({{\sin }^{2/3}}x+{{\cos }^{2/3}}x)}dx}\]            \[\Rightarrow 2I=\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2}{dx}\]\[\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}[x]_{0}^{\pi /2}\]\[=\frac{\pi }{4}\].                 Trick: \[\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{\frac{{{\sin }^{n}}x}{{{\sin }^{n}}x+{{\cos }^{n}}x}\,}dx=\frac{\pi }{4}\].
