    Let \[{{S}_{0}},{{S}_{1}},{{S}_{2}}.....\] be the areas bounded by the x-axis and half-wave of the curve \[y=\sin \pi \sqrt{x}.\] Then \[{{S}_{0}},{{S}_{1}},{{S}_{2}},....\] are in

    A) A.P.

    B)        G.P.

    C) H.P.

    D)        None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[y=\sin \pi \sqrt{x}\] meets x-axis when \[\pi \sqrt{x}=n\pi \]or \[x={{n}^{2}},\,\,n\in N\]. Therefore, the area of half-wave between \[x={{n}^{2}}\] and \[x={{(n+1)}^{2}}\] is \[{{S}_{n}}=\left| \int\limits_{{{n}^{2}}}^{{{(n+1)}^{2}}}{\sin \pi \sqrt{x}\,dx} \right|\] Putting \[\pi \sqrt{x}=y\] and therefore, \[{{\pi }^{2}}dx=2ydy,\] we get             \[{{S}_{n}}=\left| \frac{2}{{{\pi }^{2}}}\int\limits_{n\pi }^{(n+1)\pi }{y\,\sin \,ydy} \right|\]             \[=\left| \frac{2}{{{\pi }^{2}}}\left[ -(n+1)\pi cos(n+1)\pi +n\pi cosn\pi  \right] \right|\]             \[=\frac{2(2n+1)}{\pi },\,\,\,n\in N\] Thus, \[{{S}_{0}},{{S}_{1}},{{S}_{2}}....\].are in A.P.
