    Let \[f(x)=\int\limits_{0}^{x}{\cos \left( \frac{{{t}^{2}}+2t+1}{5} \right)}\,dt,\] \[0<x<2.\] Then \[f(x)-\]

    A) Increases monotonically

    B) Decreases monotonically

    C) Has one point of local maximum

    D) Has one point of local minimum

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[f'(x)=\cos \left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}+2x+1}{5} \right)=\cos \left( \frac{{{(x+1)}^{2}}}{5} \right)\]
    Since, \[0\le x\le 2,\]  \[\frac{1}{5}\le \frac{{{(x+1)}^{2}}}{5}\le \frac{9}{5}\]
                \[\cos \frac{{{(x+1)}^{2}}}{5}=0,\]
    Only when \[\frac{{{(x+1)}^{2}}}{5}=\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    \[f'(x)>0,\] if \[0<x<\sqrt{\frac{5\pi }{2}}-1\]
    \[f'(x)<0,\] if \[\sqrt{\frac{5\pi }{2}}-1<x<2\]
    \[\therefore x=\sqrt{\frac{5\pi }{2}}-1\] is a point of local maximum.
