Q.

Let f(x) be a positive function and I1=1/212xf(2x(12x))dx and I2=12f(x(1x))dx. Then the value of I2I1 is equal to _______         [2025]

1 12  
2 6  
3 4  
4 9  

Ans.

(3)

I1=1/212xf(2x(12x))dx

Let 2x=t  2dx=dt

when x=12, t=1 and

When for x = 1, t = 2

  I1=1212tf(t(1t))dt

 2I1=12(1t)f((1t)(1(1t)))dt

 2I1=12f(t(1t))dt12tf(t(1t))dt

 2I1=I22I1  4I1=I2

 I1I2=14 i.e., I2I1=4
