For any real number x, let [ x ] denote the largest integer less than or equal to x let f be a real valued function defined on the interval [ − 1 0 , 1 0 ] by
f ( x ) f ( x ) = = x − [ x ] , if f [ x ] is odd 1 + [ x ] − x , if f [ x ] is even
Then find the value of 1 0 π 2 ∫ − 1 0 1 0 [ f ( x ) cos ( π x ) ] d x is?

Thanks for the solution!
Can you check the definition of f ( x ) ? On the conditionals, I think you want just [ x ] instead of f [ x ] right?
Note that when calculating I 2 , after you defined t = x − 1 , you did not change the limits of integration. It should be ∫ 0 1 instead of ∫ 1 2 .

yeah the intervals was a typing error, and the definition is correct after you made the correction. Now, I guess there is no more correction needed.
This is a previous year JEE problem . A good one . :)

@Calvin Lin and @Eilon Lavi here is the solution,
f ( x ) f ( x ) = = x − [ x ] , if f [ x ] is odd 1 + [ x ] − x , if f [ x ] is even
⇒ f ( x ) = { x − 1 , 1 ≤ x < 2 1 − x , 0 ≤ x < 1 }
f ( x ) i s p e r i o d i c w i t h p e r i o d 2
∴ I = ∫ − 1 0 1 0 f ( x ) . c o s π x d x
I = 2 ∫ 0 1 0 f ( x ) . c o s π x d x = 2 × 5 ∫ 0 2 f ( x ) . c o s π x d x
= 1 0 [ ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x ) . c o s π x d x + ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) . c o s π x d x ] = 1 0 ( I 1 + I 2 )
N o w , I 2 = ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) c o s π x d x p u t x − 1 = t
I 2 = − ∫ 0 1 t . c o s π t d t = − ∫ 0 1 x . c o s π x d x
A l s o , I 1 = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − x ) c o s π x d x = − ∫ 0 1 x . c o s π x d x
⇒ I = 1 0 [ − 2 ∫ 0 1 x . c o s π x d x ]
I = − 2 0 [ x π s i n π x + π 2 c o s π x ] 0 1
I = − 2 0 [ − π 2 1 − π 2 1 ]
⇒ 1 0 π 2 I = 4
