$\textbf{Given}: J\left(m,n \right)=\int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^{m}\theta \sin^{n}\theta d\theta$

\textbf{(a):} \text{Put al the values in above equation}

\begin{align*} &J\left(0,0 \right)= \int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^{0}\theta \sin^{0}\theta d\theta \\ &=\int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1d\theta \\ &=\left[\theta \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\\ &=\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-0 \right)\\ &=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\\ &J\left(0,1 \right)= \int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^{0}\theta \sin^{1}\theta d\theta \\ &=\int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin\theta d\theta \\ &=\left[-\cos\theta \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\\ &=-\left(\cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\cos0 \right)\\ &=-\left(0-1 \right)\\ &=1\\ &J\left(1,0 \right)= \int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^{1}\theta \sin^{0}\theta d\theta \\ &=\int _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos\theta d\theta \\ &=\left[\sin\theta \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\\ &=\left(\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\sin0 \right)\\ &=\left(1-0 \right)\\ &=1\\ \end{align*}
