    The correct evaluation of \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\left| \,{{\sin }^{4}}x\, \right|\,dx}\] is             [MP PET 1993]

    A)                 \[\frac{8\pi }{3}\]            

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

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

    D)                 \[\frac{3\pi }{8}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{0}^{\pi }{\text{ }\left| \text{ }{{\sin }^{4}}x\text{ } \right|\text{ }dx=2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{{{\sin }^{4}}x\,dx}}\]            Applying gamma function,                                 \[2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}{{{\sin }^{4}}x\,dx}=2\frac{\Gamma (5/2).\Gamma (1/2)}{2.\Gamma (6/2)}=\frac{3\pi }{8}\].
