  • A
    $\pi $
  • $\frac{\pi }{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{1}{2}$
  • D

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi }{2}$
b
(b)$\int_{ - \pi /2}^{\pi /2} {{{\sin }^2}x\,dx = 2\int_0^{\pi /2} {{{\sin }^2}x\,dx = 2\frac{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right).\Gamma \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)}}{{2\Gamma \left( {\frac{{2 + 2}}{2}} \right)}}} = \frac{\pi }{2}} $.
