Q54 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics

If the area enclosed by the parabolas P1:2y=5x2 and P2:x2-y+6=0 is equal to the area enclosed by P1 and y=αx,α>0, then α3 is equal to _____ .

Correct answer: 600

Solution

Given:

P1:2y=5x2

P2:x2-y+6=0

On solving both equations, we have

2y=5y-6

⇒3y=30

⇒y=10

⇒x=±2

So, points of intersection are 2,10 & -2,10.

Also, solving P1 and y=αx, we have

x=0, 2α5

Figure

According to question 2∫02x2+6-5x22dx=∫02α5αx-5x22dx

⇒2x33+6x-5x3602=αx22-5x3602α5

⇒212+83-203=2α325-8α36×25

⇒2α375=16

⇒ α3=600

Hence, the correct answer is 600.
