Area Bounded by π-|x| and |x sin x|: 2 + π²/4 | JEE 2026

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
The area of the region {(x,y):yπx, yxsinx, y0}\{(x,y):y\le\pi-|x|,\ y\le|x\sin x|,\ y\ge0\} is
A1+π281+\dfrac{\pi^2}{8}
B2+π242+\dfrac{\pi^2}{4}correct
Cπ281\dfrac{\pi^2}{8}-1
D4+π224+\dfrac{\pi^2}{2}
Solution
Step 1: By symmetry (even functions), area =2×=2\times (area for x0x\ge0). For 0xπ0\le x\le\pi, the boundary xsinx=xsinx|x\sin x|=x\sin x; the relevant curve switches with πx\pi-x at x=π/2x=\pi/2. Step 2:
Area=2(0π/2xsinxdx+π/2π(πx)dx).\text{Area}=2\left(\int_0^{\pi/2}x\sin x\,dx+\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}(\pi-x)\,dx\right).
Step 3: Evaluate:
0π/2xsinxdx=[xcosx+sinx]0π/2=1,π/2π(πx)dx=[(πx)22]...=π28.\int_0^{\pi/2}x\sin x\,dx=\big[-x\cos x+\sin x\big]_0^{\pi/2}=1,\qquad \int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}(\pi-x)\,dx=\left[\frac{(\pi-x)^2}{-2}\right]... =\frac{\pi^2}{8}.
Step 4:
Area=2(1+π28)=2+π24.\text{Area}=2\left(1+\frac{\pi^2}{8}\right)=2+\frac{\pi^2}{4}.
Correct answer: (2)
