Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{32}{3} \sqrt{6}\) sq. unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{gathered} y^2=-8(x-2) \\ y^2=24(x+2) \cdots(2) \end{gathered} \] Solving (1) and \((2) \Rightarrow x=-1\) Area \(=2\left[\int_{-2}^{-1} 2 \sqrt{6} \sqrt{x+2} \mathrm{dx}+\int_{-1}^2 2 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{2-x} \mathrm{dx}\right]=\frac{32}{3} \sqrt{6}\) sq. unit
