[Orissa JEE 2005]

Options:

A) 8/3

B) 3/8

C) 3/2

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ y=x^{2} $ ……(i) $ y=2-x^{2} $ ……(ii)
$ \therefore $ By equation (i) and (ii) , we get,

$ x=\pm 1 $

$ \therefore $ $ y=\pm 1 $

$ \therefore $ Required area $ =2[ \int_0^{1}{(2-x^{2})dx-\int_0^{1}{x^{2}dx}} ] $

$ =2[ 2x-\frac{2x^{3}}{3} ]_0^{1}=4[ x-\frac{x^{3}}{3} ]_0^{1}=4( \frac{2}{3} )=\frac{8}{3} $ .
