Given : I1 = 0∫12x3 dx I2 = 0∫12x3 dx I3 = 1∫22x2 dx and I4 = 1∫22x3 dx As we know x2 < x3 for x ∊ (1 , 2) so 2x3 will also be greater than 2x2 for x ∊ (0 , 1) and x ∊ (1 , 2) ∴ I1 > I2 hence I3 = 1∫22x2 dx < I4 = 1∫22x3 dx And also 2x2 when x ∊ (1 , 2) is greater than 2x3 for x ∊ (0 , 1) hence I1 = 0∫12x3 dx < I3 = 1∫22x2 dx Hence, I1 > I2 is correct.
