Concept:
This question is based on properties of definite integrals.

Solution:
We are given a continuous function f(x) on [−1, 2] such that f(x) = f(1 − x). This implies the

function is symmetric about the line x = ​. We are given a relation between R1​ (a definite
integral) and R2​ (an area). We need to find the relation between them.
