The correct answer is: 1

Im,n=01xm-11-xn-1dx=In,m

Now Let x=1y+1dx=-1y+12dy

So, Im,n=-01y+1m-1yn-1y+1n-1dyy+12=0yn-11+ym+ndy

similarly Im,n=0ym-11+ym+ndy

Now 2Im,n=0ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndy

=0ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndy

=01ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndy+1ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndysubstitute y=1t

2Im,n=01ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndy-10tn-1+tm-1tm+n-2tm+n1+tm+ndtt2

Hence 2Im,n=201ym-1+yn-11+ym+ndyα=1
