  1. A \(\frac{1}{12}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. D \(1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curves are \(y=x^2\) and \(y=x^3\). Intersection point is \((1,1)\). \(\begin{aligned} \text { Area } & =\int_0^1\left(x^2-x^3\right) d x \\ & =\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}\right]_0^1 \\ & =\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{12} \text { sq unit }\end{aligned}\)
