  1. A \(\frac{9}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{9}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The points of intersection of \(x^2=4 y\) and \(x=4 y-2\) are \((2,1)\) and \(\left(-1, \frac{1}{4}\right)\).

Required area
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\int_{-1}^2 \frac{1}{4}(x+2) \mathrm{d} x-\int_{-1}^2 \frac{1}{4} x^2 \mathrm{~d} x \\
& =\frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{x^2}{2}+2 x\right]_{-1}^2-\frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^2 \\
& =\frac{9}{8} \text { sq. units }
\end{aligned}\)
