    The value of the integral \[\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{\mathbf{x}.\mathbf{logsinx}.\mathbf{dx}}\] is:

    A)   \[-\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}.log2\]         

    B)  \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}.log2\]       

    C)   \[\pi .log2\]                  

    D)  \[{{\pi }^{2}}.log2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]  \[\because I=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{x.log\left( sinx \right).dx}\] \[=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{\left( \pi -x \right)\log \sin \left( \pi -x \right).dx}\]    [By property of definite integral] \[=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{\pi .\log \sin -.dx}-\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{x\log x.dx}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ \therefore \sin (\pi -x)=\sin x \right]\] \[I=\pi \int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{\log \sin x.dx-1}\] \[2I=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi }{\log \sin x.dx}=2\pi \int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}{\log \sin x}=2\pi (-\frac{\pi }{2}.\log 2)\]  \[\therefore I=-\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}.\log 2\] Hence, option [a] is correct.
