Area of the region bounded by the curve $y = \cos x$ between $x = 0$ and $x = \pi$ is
• 2 sq units
• 4 sq units
• 3 sq units
• 1 sq units
Correct Option (a)

Correct Option (a)
Official Solution
We have $y = \cos x,x = 0$ and $x = \pi$
From the figure, area of the shaded region,
$A = \int_0^\pi | \cos x|dx = 2\int_0^{\pi /2} {\cos } xdx = 2[\sin x]_0^{\pi /2} = 2$sq. units
