Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{9}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & x+y=2 a, a y=x^2 \\ & x+\frac{x^2}{a}=2 a\end{aligned}\) \(\begin{aligned} & a x+x^2-2 a^2=0 \\ & (x+2 a)(x-a)=0 \Rightarrow x=a,-2 a \text { and } y=a, 4 a\end{aligned}\) Area \(=\int_{-2 a}^a\left(2 a-x-\frac{x^2}{a}\right) d x\)…
