The area bounded by the x-axis, y = cosx and y = sin x when 0 less or equal than straight x less or equal than straight pi over 2

  • 2 left parenthesis square root of 2 minus 1 right parenthesis
  • square root of 2 minus 1
  • square root of 2 plus 1
  • square root of 2

Solution

B.

square root of 2 minus 1

The two curves y = sin x and y = cos x meet where sin x = cos x ,  i.e.,  where x = 1
rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x space equals space straight pi over 4.
