  1. A \(\frac{16}{3}\) sq. units
  2. B \(\frac{8}{3}\) sq. units
  3. C \(\frac{4}{3}\) sq. units
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\) sq. unit
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{3}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of curves are \(y=x^{2}\) and \(\begin{aligned} y &=4 x-x^{2} \\ y-4 &=-4+4 x-x^{2} \\ y-4 &=-\left(x^{2}-4 x+4\right)=-(x-2)^{2} \end{aligned}\) Now, required area \(=\int_{0}^{2}\left\{\left(4 x-x^{2}\right)-x^{2}\right\} d x\)…
