Area bounded by the curves y=cos⁡2x,x=0,y=0y = \cos^2 x, x = 0, y = 0 and x=πx = \pi, is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Since cos⁡2x≥0\cos^2 x\ge 0 throughout, the area is ∫0πcos⁡2x dx=∫0π1+cos⁡2x2 dx\int_0^\pi \cos^2x\,dx=\int_0^\pi\frac{1+\cos 2x}{2}\,dx. The cos⁡2x\cos 2x part integrates to zero over [0,π][0,\pi], leaving π2\frac{\pi}{2} square units.
