Question:medium

While evaluating \(\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx\) using Trapezoidal rule and Simpson's one-third rule, \([a,b]\) is divided into n number of subintervals so that both the methods can be applied for the same division, then a possible value of n is

Show Hint

Simpson's 1/3 rule \(\rightarrow\) \(n\) must be a multiple of 2 (even).
Simpson's 3/8 rule \(\rightarrow\) \(n\) must be a multiple of 3.
Trapezoidal rule \(\rightarrow\) \(n\) can be any positive integer.
