    \[\int_{0}^{a}{\sqrt{\frac{a}{a-x}}}dx\]is equal to

    A)  \[4a\]                

    B)  \[-4a\]

    C)  \[2a\]                

    D)  \[a\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let\[I=\int_{0}^{a}{\sqrt{\frac{a}{a-x}}dx}\] Put           \[x=a{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[dx=-2a\cos \theta \sin \theta d\theta \] \[\therefore \] \[I=\int_{\pi /2}^{0}{\sqrt{\frac{a}{a-a{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }}.(-2a\cos \theta \sin \theta )d\theta }\] \[=-\int_{\pi /2}^{0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }}}.2a\cos \theta .\sin \theta d\theta \] \[=-\int_{\pi /2}^{0}{2a\cos \theta }d\theta \] \[=-2a[\sin \theta ]_{\pi /2}^{0}\] \[=-2a\left( \sin 0-\sin \frac{\pi }{2} \right)\]
