KCET · Maths · Area Under Curves

The area of the region bounded by \( y \)-axis. \( y=\cos x \) and \( y=\sin x ; 0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \) is

  1. A \( \sqrt{2} \) Sq.units
  2. B \( 2-\sqrt{2} \) Sq.units
  3. C \( \sqrt{2}-1 \) Sq.units
  4. D \( \sqrt{2}+1 \) Sq.units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \sqrt{2}-1 \) Sq.units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\[
\begin{array}{l}
\text { Required area }=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x-\sin x) d x \\
=(\sin x+\cos x)_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \\
=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-1\right) \\
=(\sqrt{2}-1) \text { sq units }
\end{array}
\]
