Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{255}{4}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required area is shaded.
\(\begin{aligned}
\text { Area } &=\int_{1}^{4} x^{3} d x=\left[\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{1}^{4} \\
&=\frac{1}{4}\left[4^{4}-1\right]=\frac{1}{4}(256-1)=\frac{255}{4} \text { sq. unit }
\end{aligned}\)
