Point A is the intersection of y = x + α and y = 2 − x lines.
∴ y=2−y+α
⇒2y=2+α
⇒y=22+α
and x=2−22+α=22−α
∴ Point A=(22−α,22+α)
∴ AN = y-coordinate of point A=22+α
Point B is the intersection of y=2+x and y=−x−α lines.
∴ y=2−y−α
⇒2y=2−α
⇒y=22−α
∴ x=22−α−2=22−α−4=2−α−2
∴ Point B=(2−α−2,22−α)
∴ BM=y− coordinate of point B=22−α

=4−(21×(2−α)×2(2−α)+21×(2+α)×22+α)
=4−[4(2−α)2+4(2+α)2]
Given, 4−[4(2−α)2+4(2+α)2]=23
⇒4(2−α)2+4(2+α)2=25
⇒(2−α)2+(2+α)2=10
⇒4+α2−4α+4+α2+4α=10
⇒2α2+8=10
⇒2α2=2
⇒α2=1
⇒α=±1
Given that \alpha > 0 so accepted value of α=+1 .
Now, 0≤y≤x+2α and ∣x∣≤1
