Expectation of Joint Probability Distribution of Range Related Variables Let's say we want to compute the expectancy (E(X)) of the following joint distribution:  

$f(x,y)=3x,$
  $_{0<y<x<1}$   

I could derive some approach for solving this problem, depicted below:

A) $∫_0^x ∫_y^1 3x dxdy== x-\frac{x^4}{4}$    
B) $∫_y^1∫_0^x3x^2 dydx=-\frac{3}{4}(y^4-1)$  
C) $∫_0^1 ∫_0^1 3x^2 dxdy=∫_0^1 ∫_0^1 3x^2 dydx=1$
D) $∫_0^1 ∫_y^1 3x^2 dxdy=\frac{3}{4}$

All of the above seem right but I can't tell which one is the real answer and why the others are false, the book I'm reading used the D approach.
Any hint or answer would be appreciated.
 A: The support of the joint distribution of $X$ and $Y$ is as shown below

the only right way of setting up the integral for the marginal density of $X$ is 
$$f_X(x)=\int_0^x 3x \ dy =3x\left[y\right]_0^x=3x^2$$
if $0\le x\le 1$ and $0$ otherwise.
The expectation of $X$ is then
$$E[X]=3\int_0^1 x^3\ dx=\frac34.$$
A: The probability density function is: $f_{X,Y}(x,y) = 3x\,\mathbf 1_{0\leq y\leq x\leq 1}$
Let's look at the suggested answers.

A) $\def\d{\mathop{\rm d}} \displaystyle\int_0^x \int_y^1 3x^2 \d x\d y= x-\frac{x^4}{4}$    

The bound variable for the inner integral appears in the bounds of the outer integral, and in the answer.  That's clearly not right.

B) $\displaystyle\int_y^1\int_0^x3x^2 \d y\d x=-\frac{3}{4}(y^4-1)$  

Likewise.  Once you have evaluated the inner integral its bound variable (in this case, $y$) should no longer appear in the expression.

C) $\displaystyle\int_0^1 \int_0^1 3x^2 \d x \d y=\int_0^1 \int_0^1 3x^2 \d y\d x=1$

This has the opposite problem.   This is integrating outside the support; the interval here is $\{(x,y):x\in[0;1], y\in[0,1]\}$, which allows $x<y$.

D) $\displaystyle\int_0^1 \int_y^1 3x^2 \d x\d y=\frac{3}{4}$

This is correct.   This is integrating over the interval, $0\leq y\leq 1$ and $y\leq x\leq 1$.   The inner integral's bounds depend only on the variable for the outer integral, and the outer integrals bounds do not depend on either variable.

E) $\displaystyle\int_0^1 \int_0^x 3x^2 \d y\d x=\frac{3}{4}$

This is also correct.   This is integrating over $0\leq x\leq 1$ and $0\leq y\leq x$, which is the same interval as for $(D)$, just with a change of order of integration.
