MHT CET · Maths · Area Under Curves

The area bounded by the parabola \(y^{2}=x\), straight line \(y=4\) and \(y\) -axis is square units is

  1. A \(16 / 3\) sq. unit
  2. B \(64 / 3\) sq. unit
  3. C \(7 \sqrt{2}\) sq. unit
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(64 / 3\) sq. unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Line \(y=4\) meets the parabola \(y^{2}=x\) at \(A\)
\(\therefore \quad 16=x\) and \(A\) is \((16,4)\)


\(\therefore\) Required area
\(
\begin{array}{l}
=\int_{y=0}^{4} x d y \\
=\int_{y=0}^{4} y^{2} d y \\
=\left[y^{3} / 3\right]_{0}^{4} \\
=\frac{64}{3} \text { sq units }
\end{array}
