Now, given that

f ( x ) = f ( 2 x ) = f ( 4 x ) . . . f(x)\quad =\quad f(2x)\quad =\quad f(4x)...

we can write it as

f ( x ) = f ( 2 n x ) f(x)\quad =\quad f({ 2 }^{ n }x)

replace x by 2 n { 2 }^{ n } to get

f ( x ) = f ( ( 1 / 2 ) n x ) f(x)\quad =\quad f({ (1/2 })^{ n }x)

Now put l i m n > lim\\ n->\infty to obtain

f ( x ) = f ( 0 ) = 0 ( g i v e n ) f(x)\quad =\quad f(0)\quad =\quad 0\quad (given)

This means that f(x) is a constant function whose value is zero. Now put the value of f(x) in the integral to obtain the given asnwer!

did the same..... nice question bro.............!!!!!
