  1. A \(\frac{16}{3}\) sq. units
  2. B \(\frac{32}{3}\) sq. units
  3. C 32 sq. units
  4. D 16 sq. units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{32}{3}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(y=4 x-x^{2}\)
When \(y=0\), we get \(x(4-x)=0 \Rightarrow x=0,4\)
Required area is shaded.
\(\begin{aligned}
\therefore A &=\int_{0}^{4}\left(4 x-x^{2}\right) d x \\
&=\left[\frac{4 x^{2}}{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{4}=\left[2 x^{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{4} \\
&=\left|2(16-0)-\frac{64-0}{3}\right|=\left|32-\frac{64}{3}\right| \\
&=\frac{32}{3}
\end{aligned}\)
