  1. A \(\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{sq}\) unit
  2. B \(\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{sq}\) unit
  3. C \(\frac{2}{17} \mathrm{sq}\) unit

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{sq}\) unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(y=x^{3}\) and \(A(1,1)\) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^{2}\) On putting \(x=1\) in \(\mathrm{Eq}\). \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3(1)^{2}=3\) \(\therefore\) Equation of tangent at \(A(1,1)\) is \(y-1=3(x-1) \Rightarrow y=3 x-2\) \(\therefore\) Required area…
