Q93 / 180 · KCET 2009 · Mathematics

The area bounded between the parabola $y^{2}=4 x$ and the line $\mathrm{y}=2 \mathrm{x}-4$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{17}{3}$ sq unit
  • B
    $\frac{19}{3}$ sq unit
  • Correct answer
    C
    9 sq unit
  • D
    15 sq unit

Solution

The point of intersection of $\mathrm{y}^{2}=4 \mathrm{x}$ and $y=2 x-4$ is
Figure
$\begin{array}{cc} & (2 x-4)^{2}=4 x \\ \Rightarrow & x^{2}-5 x+4=0 \\ \Rightarrow & \quad(x-1)(x-4)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & x=1,4 \\ \Rightarrow & y=-2,4 \\ \therefore \text { Required area } & \\ = & \int_{-2}^{4}\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}+4}{2}\right) \mathrm{dy}-\int_{-2}^{4} \frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{4} \mathrm{dy} \\ = & \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{2}+4 \mathrm{y}\right]_{-2}^{4}-\frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{\mathrm{y}^{3}}{3}\right]_{-2}^{4} \\ = & \frac{1}{2}[8+16-(2-8)]-\frac{1}{12}[64+8] \\ = & \frac{1}{2}[30]-\frac{1}{12}(72) \\ = & 15-6=9 \mathrm{sq} \text { unit }\end{array}$

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