Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



\(\begin{aligned} \text {Required area } & =2 \int_0^1\left(x-x^2\right) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =2\left[\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^1 \\ & =2\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\right)=\frac{1}{3} \text { sq.units }\end{aligned}\)
