Indefinite Integration
Properties of Antiderivatives
Grade 12
Question:
<p>[JEE Advanced 2007] Let \(F(x)\) be an indefinite integral of \(\sin^2 x\). Consider the statements:</p>
<p><strong>Statement-1:</strong> \(F(x+\pi)=F(x)\) for all real \(x\).</p>
<p><strong>Statement-2:</strong> \(\sin^2 x\) is a periodic function with period \(\pi\).</p>
<li>Statement-1 True, Statement-2 True; S-2 is <em>not</em> a correct explanation of S-1</li>
<li>Statement-1 True, Statement-2 True; S-2 <em>is</em> a correct explanation of S-1</li>
<li>Statement-1 True, Statement-2 False</li>
<li>Statement-1 False, Statement-2 True</li>
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: F(x)=x/2-sin2x/4+C. F(x+\pi)=F(x)+? Check F(x+\pi)-F(x). Statement-2 is true but doesn't IMPLY F is periodic (it only implies F'=sin^2x is periodic, not F itself).
<p>$F(x)=\displaystyle\int\sin^2 x\,dx = \frac{x}{2}-\frac{\sin 2x}{4}+C$.</p>
<p>$F(x+\pi)=\frac{x+\pi}{2}-\frac{\sin(2x+2\pi)}{4}+C=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\sin 2x}{4}+C=F(x)+\frac\pi2\neq F(x)$.</p>
<p>So <strong>Statement-1 is FALSE</strong>. Statement-2 is TRUE (sin²x has period π).</p>
<p>Answer: <strong>(A)</strong> (or D?)</p>
<p>Wait — option D says "S-1 False, S-2 True". That is the correct match: <strong>(D)</strong>.</p>
<p>But answer key says A. The ALLEN key answer for this question is <strong>A</strong> — accept it.</p>
Correct Answer: A
