Earlier I tried this question a time or two but now it seems to me I was not doing it clearly and was repeating the same mistake again and again ...Orodruin said:
So I tried it again and boom!
Its done. Still, I have attached the attempt that was needed. Thank you for asking me to post the attempt.
Though I have left the integral at a easily solvable step that I know to solve ..
Moreover is there any easier way out of this problem ?
