Q87 / 180 · KCET 2015 · Mathematics

Area bounded by \( y=x^{3}, y=8 \) and \( x=0 \) is

  • A
    \( 2 \) sq. units
  • B
    \( 14 \mathrm{sq} \). units
  • Correct answer
    C
    \( 12 \mathrm{sq} \). units
  • D
    \( 6 \) sq. units

Solution

Given equation,
$y=x^{3} \rightarrow(1)$ $y=8 \rightarrow(2)$ $x=0 \rightarrow(3)$Figure
Now, \( x=y^{1 / 3} \)
So, required area is given by \( \int_{0}^{8} x d y \)
\[ \begin{array}{l} =\int_{0}^{8} y^{1 / 3} d y=\left[\frac{3}{4} y^{4 / 3}\right]_{0}^{8}=\frac{3}{4}\left(8^{4 / 3}\right) \\ =\frac{3}{4}\left(2^{4}\right)=12 \end{array} \]

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
