  1. A \(y=x\)
  2. B \(y=2 x\)
  3. C \(y=\frac{3}{2} x\)
  4. D \(y=\frac{2}{3} x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(y=\frac{2}{3} x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=2 x-x^{2}, y=0, x=1\) Area \(=A=\int_{0}^{1}\left(2 x-x^{2}\right) d x\) or, \(A=\frac{2}{3}\) sq units Let \(y=m x\) line divides area in two equal halves \(\therefore \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times \mathrm{m}=\frac{1}{3}\) or, \(\mathrm{m}=\frac{2}{3} \therefore\) equation of…
