Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{256}{3} \) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curve, \(y=x^{2} \rightarrow(1)\)
and given line, \(y=16 \rightarrow(2)\)


Therefore, required area is given by 2 Area of region \(\mathrm{OAC}\)
\[
\begin{array}{l}
=2 \int_{0}^{16} \sqrt{y} d y \\
=2 \times \frac{2}{3} \times\left[y^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]_{0}^{16}=2 \times \frac{2}{3} \times(16)^{\frac{3}{2}} \\
=2 \times \frac{2}{3} \times(4)^{3}=\frac{256}{3}
\end{array}
\]
