Question:

The area enclosed by the curves $xy = 4, y=x, x=e^2$ and the x-axis, is :

Options:

$4-log_e2$

$10-2log_e4$

$6-2log_e4$

$10-log_e8$

Correct Answer:

$10-2log_e4$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $10-2log_e4$

$xy = 4, y=x, x=e^2$

$x=y$ and $xy=4$

intersect at $x=4$

required area = $\frac{1}{2}×2×2+\int\limits_2^{e^2}\frac{4}{x}dx$

$=2+4[\log x]_2^{e^2}$

$=2+4(2-\log 2)$

$=10-2\log 4$
