Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{64}{3}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Refer figure

Required area is shaded.
Point of intersection of \(y^2=x\) and \(y=4\) is \(A \equiv(16,4)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\therefore A & =\int_0^4 y^2 d y \\
& =\left[\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_0^4=\frac{64}{3} \text { sq. units }
\end{aligned}
