Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{3}(8-2 \sqrt{2})\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required area is shaded.
\(\begin{aligned}
A &=2 \int_{2}^{4}(2 \sqrt{y}) d y \\
&=4 \int_{2}^{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}} d y=4\left[\frac{y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)}\right]_{2}^{4}=\frac{8}{3}[4 \sqrt{4}-2 \sqrt{2}] \\
&=\frac{8}{3}(8-2 \sqrt{2})
\end{aligned}\)
