MCQ 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): $\int_a^b f(x) d x=\int_a^b f(a+b-x) d x$
- ABoth assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
- BBoth assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion (A).
- CAssertion (A) is true and reason $(R)$ is false.
- DAssertion $(A)$ is false, but reason $(R)$ is true.

View full question & answer→Let $I=\int_2^8 \frac{\sqrt{10-x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{10-x}} d x$
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\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
\end{array}
$
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
$
\begin{aligned}
& 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
\end{aligned}
$Hence, both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
