Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. By ∫abf(x) dx=∫abf(a+b−x) dx\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = \int_a^b f(a + b - x)\,dx with a+b=7a + b = 7, I=∫257−x7−x+x dxI = \int_2^5 \frac{\sqrt{7 - x}}{\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x}}\,dx.

  2. Adding, 2I=∫251 dx=32I = \int_2^5 1\,dx = 3, so I=32I = \frac{3}{2}.

Worth noting

3 is 2I2I, the length of the interval; the integral is half of it.
