Q.

If (a,b) be the orthocentre of the triangle whose vertices are (1, 2), (2, 3) and (3, 1) and I1=∫abxsin(4x-x2) dx,  I2=∫absin(4x-x2) dx, then 36I1I2 is equal to :    [2024]

Ans.

(3)

Let the vertices of the triangle are A(3,1), B(1,2) and C(2,3).

Slope of BC=3-22-1=1

Since, AD is perpendicular to BC.

Slope of AD = -1

Equation of line AD is

y-1=-1(x-3)

Since, (a,b) lies on AD.

∴ b-1=-1(a-3)⇒a+b=4

Now, I1=∫abxsin[(4-x)x] dx

I1=∫ab(a+b-x)sin[(4-(a+b-x))(a+b-x)] dx

I1=4∫absin[(4-x)x] dx-∫abxsin[(4-x)x] dx

I1=4I2-I1                                 [∵∫absin[(4-x)x] dx=I2]

⇒2I1=4I2⇒I1I2=2          ∴ 36I1I2=36×2=72
