@Rishabh Cool You could've used complex expontials instead of expanding and simplifying.

Right.. Thanks I'll definitely learn from your method ... I expanded since I'm a bit weak at complex no.s so I always resort to pure algebra..
Note that the given integral is equivalent to
∫ 0 π ∣ e i x + e 2 i x + e 3 i x ∣ d x
That is,
∫ 0 π ∣ e − i x + 1 + e i x ∣ d x = ∫ 0 π ∣ 1 + 2 cos x ∣ d x
Evaluating the above integral, keeping in mind the sign of 1 + 2 cos x , the answer comes out to be 3 π + 2 3 Hence, 2 + 2 + 3 = 8

Opening the squares and using: cos 2 A + sin 2 A = 1 and cos A cos B + sin A sin B = cos ( A − B ) , given expression simplifies to: ∫ 0 π ( 3 + 4 cos x + 2 cos 2 x ) d x Now using cos 2 x = 2 cos 2 x + 1 , ∫ 0 π ( 1 + 4 cos x + 4 cos 2 x ) d x ∫ 0 π ∣ 2 cos x + 1 ∣ d x ∫ 0 3 2 π ( 2 cos x + 1 ) d x − ∫ 3 2 π π ( 2 cos x + 1 ) d x = 3 2 π + 3 − ( 3 π − 3 ) = 3 π + 2 3 ∴ 2 + 3 + 3 = 8
