Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{4}+\log _{e} 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First of all we draw the graph \(y=x^{3}, y=\frac{1}{x}, x=2\) Required area i.e., (OMPNO) \(=\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x+\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} d x\) \(=\left[\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}+\left[\log _{4} x\right]_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\log _{c} 2\)
