Correct answer: NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTIONS IS CORRECT.

  1. Given integral
I=∫π/4π/38sin⁡x−sin⁡2xx dxI=\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\frac{8\sin x-\sin 2x}{x}\,dxI=∫π/4π/3​x8sinx−sin2x​dx

We need to estimate the value of III and identify the correct interval.


  1. Simplify the numerator

Using sin⁡2x=2sin⁡xcos⁡x\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos xsin2x=2sinxcosx,

8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x=8sin⁡x−2sin⁡xcos⁡x=2sin⁡x(4−cos⁡x)8\sin x-\sin 2x=8\sin x-2\sin x\cos x=2\sin x(4-\cos x)8sinx−sin2x=8sinx−2sinxcosx=2sinx(4−cosx)

So,

I=∫π/4π/32sin⁡x(4−cos⁡x)x dxI=\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\frac{2\sin x(4-\cos x)}{x}\,dxI=∫π/4π/3​x2sinx(4−cosx)​dx
  1. Estimate the integrand on the interval

For x∈[π4,π3]x\in\left[\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\pi}{3}\right]x∈[4π​,3π​]:

  • sin⁡x\sin xsinx is increasing, so 12≤sin⁡x≤32\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\le \sin x\le \frac{\sqrt3}{2}2​1​≤sinx≤23​​
  • cos⁡x\cos xcosx is decreasing, so 12≤cos⁡x≤12\frac12\le \cos x\le \frac{1}{\sqrt2}21​≤cosx≤2​1​ hence 4−12≤4−cos⁡x≤724-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\le 4-\cos x\le \frac724−2​1​≤4−cosx≤27​
  • Also, since 1/x1/x1/x is decreasing, 3π≤1x≤4π\frac{3}{\pi}\le \frac1x\le \frac{4}{\pi}π3​≤x1​≤π4​

Thus the integrand

f(x)=2sin⁡x(4−cos⁡x)xf(x)=\frac{2\sin x(4-\cos x)}{x}f(x)=x2sinx(4−cosx)​

satisfies

f(x)≥2⋅12(4−12)xf(x)\ge \frac{2\cdot \frac1{\sqrt2}\left(4-\frac1{\sqrt2}\right)}{x}f(x)≥x2⋅2​1​(4−2​1​)​

and

f(x)≤2⋅32⋅72x=732xf(x)\le \frac{2\cdot \frac{\sqrt3}{2}\cdot \frac72}{x}=\frac{7\sqrt3}{2x}f(x)≤x2⋅23​​⋅27​​=2x73​​

But a sharper approach is to bound the factor 8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x8\sin x-\sin 2x8sinx−sin2x first.


  1. Bounds for 8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x8\sin x-\sin 2x8sinx−sin2x

At x=π/4x=\pi/4x=π/4,

8sin⁡π4−sin⁡π2=8⋅12−1=42−18\sin\frac\pi4-\sin\frac\pi2=8\cdot \frac1{\sqrt2}-1=4\sqrt2-18sin4π​−sin2π​=8⋅2​1​−1=42​−1

At x=π/3x=\pi/3x=π/3,

8sin⁡π3−sin⁡2π3=8⋅32−32=7328\sin\frac\pi3-\sin\frac{2\pi}3=8\cdot \frac{\sqrt3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=\frac{7\sqrt3}{2}8sin3π​−sin32π​=8⋅23​​−23​​=273​​

Now note that

ddx(8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x)=8cos⁡x−2cos⁡2x\frac{d}{dx}(8\sin x-\sin 2x)=8\cos x-2\cos 2xdxd​(8sinx−sin2x)=8cosx−2cos2x

For x∈[π4,π3]x\in\left[\frac\pi4,\frac\pi3\right]x∈[4π​,3π​], we have cos⁡x>0\cos x>0cosx>0 and cos⁡2x∈[−1/2,0]\cos 2x\in[-1/2,0]cos2x∈[−1/2,0], so

8cos⁡x−2cos⁡2x>08\cos x-2\cos 2x>08cosx−2cos2x>0

Hence 8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x8\sin x-\sin 2x8sinx−sin2x is increasing on the interval. Therefore,

42−1≤8sin⁡x−sin⁡2x≤7324\sqrt2-1\le 8\sin x-\sin 2x\le \frac{7\sqrt3}{2}42​−1≤8sinx−sin2x≤273​​

So,

(42−1)∫π/4π/3dxx≤I≤732∫π/4π/3dxx(4\sqrt2-1)\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\frac{dx}{x} \le I\le \frac{7\sqrt3}{2}\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\frac{dx}{x}(42​−1)∫π/4π/3​xdx​≤I≤273​​∫π/4π/3​xdx​

That is,

(42−1)ln⁡π/3π/4≤I≤732ln⁡π/3π/4(4\sqrt2-1)\ln\frac{\pi/3}{\pi/4} \le I\le \frac{7\sqrt3}{2}\ln\frac{\pi/3}{\pi/4}(42​−1)lnπ/4π/3​≤I≤273​​lnπ/4π/3​

Since

ln⁡π/3π/4=ln⁡43\ln\frac{\pi/3}{\pi/4}=\ln\frac43lnπ/4π/3​=ln34​

we get

(42−1)ln⁡43≤I≤732ln⁡43(4\sqrt2-1)\ln\frac43\le I\le \frac{7\sqrt3}{2}\ln\frac43(42​−1)ln34​≤I≤273​​ln34​

Numerically,

ln⁡43≈0.28768\ln\frac43\approx 0.28768ln34​≈0.28768

Lower bound:

(42−1)ln⁡43≈(5.6568−1)(0.28768)=4.6568×0.28768≈1.339(4\sqrt2-1)\ln\frac43\approx (5.6568-1)(0.28768)=4.6568\times 0.28768\approx 1.339(42​−1)ln34​≈(5.6568−1)(0.28768)=4.6568×0.28768≈1.339

Upper bound:

732ln⁡43≈6.062×0.28768≈1.744\frac{7\sqrt3}{2}\ln\frac43\approx 6.062\times 0.28768\approx 1.744273​​ln34​≈6.062×0.28768≈1.744

So,

1.339<I<1.7441.339<I<1.7441.339<I<1.744
  1. Compare with the options

Let us compute the option endpoints numerically:

\quad \frac{3\pi}{4}\approx 2.356$$

\quad \frac{5\pi}{12}\approx 1.309$$

\quad \frac{\sqrt2}{3}\pi\approx 1.481$$

\quad \pi\approx 3.142$$

Our rough bounds give 1.339<I<1.7441.339<I<1.7441.339<I<1.744, which already shows:

  • Option B is false because I>1.309I>1.309I>1.309.
  • Option D is false.

To distinguish between A and C, we estimate III more accurately.


  1. Numerical estimation of the integral

Take

f(x)=8sin⁡x−sin⁡2xxf(x)=\frac{8\sin x-\sin 2x}{x}f(x)=x8sinx−sin2x​

Evaluate at three points for Simpson's rule on [π4,π3]\left[\frac\pi4,\frac\pi3\right][4π​,3π​]:

a=π4,b=π3,m=a+b2=7π24a=\frac\pi4,\quad b=\frac\pi3,\quad m=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{7\pi}{24}a=4π​,b=3π​,m=2a+b​=247π​

Now,

f(π4)=42−1π/4=4(42−1)π≈5.928f\left(\frac\pi4\right)=\frac{4\sqrt2-1}{\pi/4}=\frac{4(4\sqrt2-1)}{\pi}\approx 5.928f(4π​)=π/442​−1​=π4(42​−1)​≈5.928

At x=7π24=52.5∘x=\frac{7\pi}{24}=52.5^\circx=247π​=52.5∘,

sin⁡x≈0.79335,sin⁡2x=sin⁡105∘≈0.96593\sin x\approx 0.79335,\quad \sin 2x=\sin 105^\circ\approx 0.96593sinx≈0.79335,sin2x=sin105∘≈0.96593

So,

f(m)≈8(0.79335)−0.965937π/24=5.38090.9163≈5.872f(m)\approx \frac{8(0.79335)-0.96593}{7\pi/24} =\frac{5.3809}{0.9163}\approx 5.872f(m)≈7π/248(0.79335)−0.96593​=0.91635.3809​≈5.872

Also,

f\left(\frac\pi3\right)=\frac{\frac{7\sqrt3}{2}}{\pi/3}= rac{21\sqrt3}{2\pi}\approx 5.790

Simpson's rule gives

I≈b−a6[f(a)+4f(m)+f(b)]I\approx \frac{b-a}{6}\left[f(a)+4f(m)+f(b)\right]I≈6b−a​[f(a)+4f(m)+f(b)]

Now,

b−a=π3−π4=π12b-a=\frac\pi3-\frac\pi4=\frac\pi{12}b−a=3π​−4π​=12π​

Hence,

I≈π/126(5.928+4(5.872)+5.790)I\approx \frac{\pi/12}{6}\left(5.928+4(5.872)+5.790\right)I≈6π/12​(5.928+4(5.872)+5.790) =π72(5.928+23.488+5.790)=\frac{\pi}{72}(5.928+23.488+5.790)=72π​(5.928+23.488+5.790) =π72(35.206)≈1.536=\frac{\pi}{72}(35.206)\approx 1.536=72π​(35.206)≈1.536

Thus,

I≈1.536I\approx 1.536I≈1.536

Now compare with the intervals:

  • Option A: π2<I<3π4  ⟺  1.571<I<2.356\frac\pi2<I<\frac{3\pi}{4} \iff 1.571<I<2.3562π​<I<43π​⟺1.571<I<2.356 This is false since I≈1.536<1.571I\approx 1.536<1.571I≈1.536<1.571.

  • Option C: 5π12<I<23π  ⟺  1.309<I<1.481\frac{5\pi}{12}<I<\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\pi \iff 1.309<I<1.481125π​<I<32​​π⟺1.309<I<1.481 This is also false since I≈1.536>1.481I\approx 1.536>1.481I≈1.536>1.481.

So neither A nor C fits the actual value.


  1. A clean analytic lower bound to confirm I>23πI>\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\piI>32​​π

Since f(x)=8sin⁡x−sin⁡2xxf(x)=\dfrac{8\sin x-\sin 2x}{x}f(x)=x8sinx−sin2x​ is decreasing only slightly and stays above its minimum value on the interval,

I>(b−a) f(π3)I>(b-a)\,f\left(\frac\pi3\right)I>(b−a)f(3π​)

because f(x)>f(π/3)f(x)>f(\pi/3)f(x)>f(π/3) for most of the interval, and numerically even the rectangle estimate gives

I>π12⋅5.790≈1.516I>\frac\pi{12}\cdot 5.790\approx 1.516I>12π​⋅5.790≈1.516

Now,

23π≈1.481\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\pi\approx 1.48132​​π≈1.481

Hence,

I>1.516>1.481=23πI>1.516>1.481=\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\piI>1.516>1.481=32​​π

Therefore option C cannot be correct.


  1. Conclusion

The actual value is approximately

I≈1.536I\approx 1.536I≈1.536

This does not lie in any of the listed intervals. In particular, the stored answer C is incorrect because

I>23π.I>\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\pi.I>32​​π.
