MCQ
The function $S(x) =\int\limits_0^x {\sin \left( {\frac{{\pi {t^2}}}{2}} \right)\,dt} $ has two critical points in the interval $[1, 2.4]$. One of the critical points is a local minimum and the other is a local maximum. The local minimum occurs at $x =$
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\sqrt 2 $
  • $2$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2$
c
$S(x) = \int\limits_0^x {\sin \left( {\frac{{\pi {t^2}}}{2}} \right)\,dt} $ ;

$S ' (x) = \sin \left( {\frac{{\pi {x^2}}}{2}} \right) = 0$

$\frac{{\pi {x^2}}}{2} = n\pi$ ==> $x^2 = 2n (1 \le x^2 \le 5.76$ as is given)

hence $n = 1$ or $2$

$x=\sqrt 2 $ or $ x = 2$ ;

$S''(x) = cos\left( {\frac{{\pi {x^2}}}{2}} \right). \pi x$

$S''(\sqrt 2) < 0$ and $S''(2) > 0 $

==> minima at $x = 2$
