The correct answer is: π-14

I=0π2sin3xsinx + cosxdx   ...i

Using property of definite integration abfxdx=abfa+b-xdx, we get

I=0π2sin3π2-xsinπ2-x+cosπ2-x dx

Using sinπ2-x=cosx & cosπ2-x=sinx, 

I=0π2cos3xcosx+sinx dx   ...ii

On adding the equation i & ii

2I=0π2sin3x+ cos3xsinx+cosxdx

2I=0π2sinx+cosxsin2x+cos2x-sin xcosxsinx+cosxdx

2I=0π2sin2x+cos2x-sin xcosxdx

Now, using sin2x+cos2x=1 & 2sinxcosx=sin2x, we get

2I=0π21-12sin2xdx

2I= x+cos2x40π2

2I=π2+cos2π24-0+cos204

2I=π2-14-14

2I=π2-12

I=π4-14=π-14.
