MCQ
The correct evaluation of $\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin x \sin 2 x d x$ is
  • A
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{2}{3}$
(D)
Let $I =\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin x \sin 2 x \ d x=2 \int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^2 x \ \cos x \ d x$
Put $\sin x= t \Rightarrow \cos x \ d x= dt$
When $x=0, t =0$ and when $x=\frac{\pi}{2}, t =1$
$\therefore I=2 \int_0^1 t^2 d t=\frac{2}{3}\left[t^3\right]_0^1=\frac{2}{3}$
