Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #99

Evaluate \(\int_1^3[|x-1|+|x-2|+|x-3|]dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 5
  1. On [1,3], |x−1|=x−1 and |x−3|=3−x; their sum is 2.
  2. Thus I=∫₁³2dx+∫₁²(2−x)dx+∫₂³(x−2)dx.
  3. The contributions are 4,1/2,1/2, giving I=5.
  4. Therefore the integral equals 5.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] On [1,3], |x−1|=x−1 and |x−3|=3−x; their sum is 2.
  • [1 mark] Thus I=∫₁³2dx+∫₁²(2−x)dx+∫₂³(x−2)dx.
  • [1 mark] The contributions are 4,1/2,1/2, giving I=5.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals 5.
