  • C 103{{10} \over 3}
  • D 53{{5} \over 3}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

y = x\sqrt x

y = x −- 2

∴   \therefore\,\,\, x\sqrt x = x −- 2

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, x = x2 −- 4x + 4

x2 −- 5x + 4 = 0

x2 −- 4x −- x + 4 = 0

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, x(x −- 4) −- (x −- 4) = 0

⇒\Rightarrow    \,\,\, (x −- 4) (x −- 1) = 0

∴   \therefore\,\,\, x = 4, 1

and y = 2, −- 1

∴   \therefore\,\,\, Their point of intersection (4, 2) and (1, −- 1)

JEE Main 2018 (Online) 15th April Morning Slot Mathematics - Area Under The Curves Question 125 English Explanation

Required area is shown in the shaded figure.

∴   \therefore\,\,\, Required area

= ∫02x dx+∫24(x−x+2) dx\int\limits_0^2 {\sqrt x \,dx + \int\limits_2^4 {\left( {\sqrt x - x + 2} \right)\,dx} }

= ∫04x dx+∫24(2−x) dx\int\limits_0^4 {\sqrt x \,dx + \int\limits_2^4 {\left( {2 - x} \right)\,dx} }

= [23x32]04+[2x−x22]24\left[ {{2 \over 3}{x^{{3 \over 2}}}} \right]_0^4 + \left[ {2x - {{{x^2}} \over 2}} \right]_2^4

= 23(8){2 \over 3}\left( 8 \right) + 2 (4−2)\left( {4 - 2} \right) −- 12{1 \over 2} (16 −- 4)

= 163{{16} \over 3} + 4 −- 6

= 103{{10} \over 3}
