Correct answer: C

  1. Given function

    f(x)=∫0xtsin⁡t dt,x∈(0,5π2)f(x)=\int_0^x \sqrt{t}\sin t\,dt, \qquad x\in \left(0,\frac{5\pi}{2}\right)f(x)=∫0x​t​sintdt,x∈(0,25π​)

    To find local maxima/minima, we use derivatives.

  2. First derivative using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

    f′(x)=xsin⁡xf'(x)=\sqrt{x}\sin xf′(x)=x​sinx

    Critical points occur where

    f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0

    Since x>0\sqrt{x}>0x​>0 for x>0x>0x>0, this gives

    sin⁡x=0  ⟹  x=nπ\sin x=0 \implies x=n\pisinx=0⟹x=nπ

    In the interval (0,5π2)\left(0,\frac{5\pi}{2}\right)(0,25π​), the critical points are

    x=π,  2πx=\pi,\;2\pix=π,2π

  3. Determine nature of critical points

    Since x>0\sqrt{x}>0x​>0, the sign of f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is determined entirely by sin⁡x\sin xsinx.

    • For x∈(0,π)x\in(0,\pi)x∈(0,π), sin⁡x>0\sin x>0sinx>0, so f′(x)>0f'(x)>0f′(x)>0 Hence fff is increasing.

    • For x∈(π,2π)x\in(\pi,2\pi)x∈(π,2π), sin⁡x<0\sin x<0sinx<0, so f′(x)<0f'(x)<0f′(x)<0 Hence fff is decreasing.

    • For x∈(2π,5π/2)x\in(2\pi,5\pi/2)x∈(2π,5π/2), sin⁡x>0\sin x>0sinx>0, so f′(x)>0f'(x)>0f′(x)>0 Hence fff is increasing again.

  4. Conclusion from sign change

    • At x=πx=\pix=π: f′f'f′ changes from positive to negative, so fff has a local maximum at x=πx=\pix=π.
    • At x=2πx=2\pix=2π: f′f'f′ changes from negative to positive, so fff has a local minimum at x=2πx=2\pix=2π.
  5. Correct option

    Therefore, fff has

    local maximum at π and local minimum at 2π\text{local maximum at }\pi \text{ and local minimum at }2\pilocal maximum at π and local minimum at 2π

    So the correct choice is C.
