Correct answer: B

  1. Given integrals

We need to compare I1=∫012x2 dx,I2=∫012x3 dx,I_1=\int_0^1 2^{x^2}\,dx,\qquad I_2=\int_0^1 2^{x^3}\,dx,I1​=∫01​2x2dx,I2​=∫01​2x3dx, I3=∫122x2 dx,I4=∫122x3 dx.I_3=\int_1^2 2^{x^2}\,dx,\qquad I_4=\int_1^2 2^{x^3}\,dx.I3​=∫12​2x2dx,I4​=∫12​2x3dx.

Since the base 2>12>12>1, the function 2t2^t2t is strictly increasing in ttt. So comparison of 2x22^{x^2}2x2 and 2x32^{x^3}2x3 depends on comparison of x2x^2x2 and x3x^3x3 on the given intervals.


  1. Compare I1I_1I1​ and I2I_2I2​ on [0,1][0,1][0,1]

For x∈[0,1]x\in[0,1]x∈[0,1], we have x2≥x3,x^2\ge x^3,x2≥x3, because multiplying by x∈[0,1]x\in[0,1]x∈[0,1] makes the number smaller.

Since 2t2^t2t is increasing, 2x2≥2x3for x∈[0,1].2^{x^2}\ge 2^{x^3}\quad \text{for } x\in[0,1].2x2≥2x3for x∈[0,1]. Also, for all x∈(0,1)x\in(0,1)x∈(0,1), x2>x3  ⟹  2x2>2x3.x^2>x^3 \implies 2^{x^2}>2^{x^3}.x2>x3⟹2x2>2x3. Therefore, integrating over [0,1][0,1][0,1], I1=∫012x2 dx>∫012x3 dx=I2.I_1=\int_0^1 2^{x^2}\,dx > \int_0^1 2^{x^3}\,dx=I_2.I1​=∫01​2x2dx>∫01​2x3dx=I2​.

Hence, I1>I2.I_1>I_2.I1​>I2​. So:

  • Option A: I2>I1I_2>I_1I2​>I1​ is false
  • Option B: I1>I2I_1>I_2I1​>I2​ is true

  1. Compare I3I_3I3​ and I4I_4I4​ on [1,2][1,2][1,2]

For x∈[1,2]x\in[1,2]x∈[1,2], we have x3≥x2.x^3\ge x^2.x3≥x2. In fact, for x>1x>1x>1, x3>x2.x^3>x^2.x3>x2. Since 2t2^t2t is increasing, 2x3≥2x2for x∈[1,2],2^{x^3}\ge 2^{x^2}\quad \text{for } x\in[1,2],2x3≥2x2for x∈[1,2], and for x∈(1,2]x\in(1,2]x∈(1,2], 2x3>2x2.2^{x^3}>2^{x^2}.2x3>2x2. Therefore, I4=∫122x3 dx>∫122x2 dx=I3.I_4=\int_1^2 2^{x^3}\,dx > \int_1^2 2^{x^2}\,dx=I_3.I4​=∫12​2x3dx>∫12​2x2dx=I3​.

Hence, I4>I3.I_4>I_3.I4​>I3​. So:

  • Option C: I3=I4I_3=I_4I3​=I4​ is false
  • Option D: I3>I4I_3>I_4I3​>I4​ is false

  1. Final conclusion

The only correct option is B.\boxed{\text{B}}.B​.
