$\int_0^{\pi /2} {} \log \sin x\,dx = $
  • $ - \left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)\log 2$
  • B
    $\pi \log \frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $ - \pi \log \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi }{2}\log 2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ - \left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)\log 2$
a
(a) $\int_0^{\pi /2} {\log \sin x\,dx = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\,\,\log \cos x\,dx} } $

==> $2I = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\log \sin x\cos x\,dx} = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\log \sin 2x\,dx} - \int_0^{\pi /2} {\,\,\log 2dx} $

$ = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^\pi {\log \sin tdt - \frac{\pi }{2}\log 2} $, (Putting $2x = t$)

$ = \frac{1}{2}.2\int_0^{\pi /2} {\log \sin t\,dt - \frac{\pi }{2}\log 2} $

$ \Rightarrow 2I = I - \frac{\pi }{2}\log 2 $

$\Rightarrow I = \frac{{ - \pi }}{2}\log 2$.
