The correct answer is: $I_{1}+I_{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$I_{1}-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} x \sin x d x$
$=\left[-x \cos x+\int \cos x\right]_{0}^{\pi / 2}$
$=[-x \cos x+\sin x]_{0}^{\pi / 2}$
$=0+\sin \frac{\pi}{2}-0=1$
Similarly, $I_{2}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} x \cos x d x$
$\quad=\left[x \sin x-\int_{\sin x]_{0}^{\pi / 2}}\right.$
$\quad=[x \sin x+\cos x]_{0}^{\pi / 2}$
$\quad=\frac{\pi}{2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}-1=\frac{\pi}{2}-1$
Hence, $I_{1}+I_{2}=1+\frac{\pi}{2}-1=\frac{\pi}{2}$
