For I
Apply king ( $P -5$ ) and add
$

$
Apply king and add
$
I_2=\frac{\pi}{4} \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\tan x \sec ^2 xdx}{\tan ^4 x+1}

Statement - II : For some $(a, b) \in X$, the set $S=\{(x, y) \in X:(x, y) R(a, b)\}$ represents a line parallel to $y = x$.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
- ✓
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
- C
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
- D
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.

Let the point A divide the line segment joining the points $P (-1,-1,2)$ and $Q (5,5,10)$ internally in the ratio $r : 1( r >0)$. If O is the origin and $(\overrightarrow{ OQ } \cdot \overrightarrow{ OA })-\frac{1}{5}|\overrightarrow{ OP } \times \overrightarrow{ OA }|^2=10$, then the value of r is :
Answer(D)
$
\begin{array}{l}
A \equiv\left(\frac{5 r-1}{r+1}, \frac{5 r-1}{r+1}, \frac{10 r+2}{r+1}\right) \\
(\overrightarrow{OQ} \cdot \overrightarrow{OA})-\frac{|\overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{OA}|^2}{5}=10 \\
\overrightarrow{OQ} \cdot \overrightarrow{OA}=\frac{10}{r+1}(15 r+1) \\
|\overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{OA}|^2=\frac{r^2}{(r+1)^2}(800)

$
so by equation (1)
$
\begin{array}{l}
\frac{10}{r+1}(15 r+1)-\frac{1}{5} \frac{r^2(800)}{(r+1)^2}=10 \\
2 r^2-14 r=0 \\

Let $\int x^3 \sin x d x=g(x)+C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration.
If $8\left(g\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+g^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right)=\alpha \pi^3+\beta \pi^2+\gamma, \alpha, \beta, \gamma \in Z$,
Then $\alpha+\beta-\gamma$ equals :
Answer(A)
$
\begin{array}{l}
\int x^3 \sin x d x=-x^3 \cos x+\int 3 x^2 \cos x d x \\
=-x^3 \cos x+3 x^2 \sin x-\int 6 x \sin x d x \\
=-x^3 \cos x+3 x^2 \sin x+6 x \cos x-6 \sin x+c
\end{array}
$
So $g(x)=-x^3 \cos x+3 x^2 \sin x+6 x \cos x-6 \sin x$
$
\begin{array}{l}
g\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{3 \pi^2}{4}-6 \\
g^{\prime}(x)=x^3 \sin x \\
g^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{\pi^3}{8} \\
8\left(g\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+g^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right)=\pi^3+6 \pi^2-48
\end{array}
$
So $\alpha+\beta-\gamma=55$
