Question 11 Mark
Assertion $(A): \int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{10-x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{10-x}} d x=3$
Reason $(R): \int_a^b f(x) d x=\int_a^b f(a+b-x) d x$
Reason $(R): \int_a^b f(x) d x=\int_a^b f(a+b-x) d x$

View full question & answer→Let $I=\int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{10-x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{10-x}} d x$
$=\int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{10-(10-x)}}{\sqrt{10-x}+\sqrt{10-(10-x)}} d x\left(\because \int_a^b f(x) d x=\frac{b}{a} f(a+b-x) d x\right)$
$=\int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{10-x}+\sqrt{x}} d x$
Adding $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$2 I=\int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{10-x}+\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{10-x}} d x=\int_2^8 1 d x=[x]_2^8$
$\Rightarrow I =\frac{1}{2}(8-2)=\frac{6}{2}=3
$Hence, both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A).$
