Options:
  • A $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_1$
  • B $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_2$
  • C $I=I_3$
  • D $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_4$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_4$
$\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}} \cdot \cos ^2 \mathrm{x} < \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}^2} \cos ^2 \mathrm{x} < \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}^2} < \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\mathrm{x}^2}{2}}$ for $0 < \mathrm{x} < 1$
$\therefore$ By domination Law, $\mathrm{I}_4$ is maximum
$\therefore \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_4$
