Question:

The area of region bounded by curve $y^2=4x$ and the lines $y=2$ and $x=0$ is :

Options:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{4}{3}$

1

Correct Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{2}{3}$

$y^2=4x$, $y=2$, $x=0$

at $y=2$

$y^2=4x$

$2^2=4x$

$⇒x=1$

so required area = $2×1-\int\limits_0^12\sqrt{x}dx$

$=2-2\left[\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\right]_0^1$

$⇒2-\frac{4}{3}⇒\frac{2}{3}$ sq. units
