Question
Evaluate: $\int\limits^{\pi}_{0} \frac{x \sin x}{1 + \cos^{2} x} \text{d}x.$

Answer

$\text{I} = \int\limits^{\pi}_{0} \frac{\text{x} \sin \text{x}}{1 + \cos^{2} \text{x}} \text{dx}$
$= \int\limits^{\pi}_{0} \frac{(\pi - \text{x}) \sin \text{x}}{1 + \cos^{2} \text{x}} \text{x}$
$\Rightarrow \text{2I} = \pi \int\limits^{\pi}_{0} \frac{\sin \text{x dx}}{1 + \cos^{2}\text{x}}$
$\text{Put} \cos \text{x = t and} -\sin \text{x dx = dt}$
$= -\pi \int\limits^{-1}_{1} \frac{\text{dt}}{1 + \text{t}^{2}}$
$= \pi [ \tan^{-1} \text{t}]^{1}_{-1} = \frac{\pi^{2}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \text{I} = \frac{\pi^{2}}{4}$

For a loaded die, the probabilities of outcomes are given as under:
P(1) = P(2) = 0.2, P(3) = P(5) = P(6) = 0.1 and P(4) = 0.3. The die is thrown two times. Let A and B be the events, ‘same number each time’, and ‘a total score is 10 or more’, respectively. Determine whether or not A and B are independent.

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets $1$ or $2$, she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets $3, 4, 5$ or $6$, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’, what is the probability that she threw $3, 4, 5$ or $6$ with the die?

A company manufactures two types of screws A and B. All the screws have to pass through a threading machine and a slotting machine. A box of Type A screws requires 2 minutes on the threading machine and 3 minutes on the slotting machine. A box of type B screws requires 8 minutes of threading on the threading machine and 2 minutes on the slotting machine. In a week, each machine is available for 60 hours.
On selling these screws, the company gets a profit of Rs 100 per box on type A screws and Rs 170 per box on type B screws.
