I am just curious whether you know how to show 22/7 > pi by using integration of an expression limits 0 to 1?

I take it back.

Wikipedia says this is a question on the IIT JEE.

If you can come up with an expression e.g. for circumference of a circle (c = total circumference / 4) in terms of the x coordinate, c = c(x) , then you can integrate that expression with respect to x ( 0 --> 1). The resulting numerical value for c (through integration) will correspond to the actual value of pi/2, since the total circumference = 4c = 2*pi (@x=1).
