If the area (in sq. units) bounded by the parabola y2=4λx and the line y=λx,λ>0, is 19, then λ is equal to
  1. 43
  2. 26
  3. 48
  4. 24

Solution

The given equations are y2=4λx and y=λx

Using above equations, we can write

λx2=4λxλ2x2-4λx=0

λxλx-4=0

x=0 & x=4λ

Area =19=04λ4λx-λxdx

4λx3232-λx2204λ=19

λ=24

Hence, the required value is 24.
