Hey braintic, thank you for your reply but i tried applying everything you provided but kept getting answers not in the MC options.

I kept getting -2.98 a lot.
I don't get any of the answers either.
















I do get 5.2 before multiplying by pi^2/16.
So not sure if I have made a mistake or there is a mistake in the question.
