Given equation of curves $x^2+y^2=2 \text { and } y=x^2$ For point of intersection, on solving the given curves, we get $\begin{aligned} & y^2+y-2=0 \Rightarrow y^2+2 y-y-2=0 \ \Rightarrow & y(y+2)-1(y+2) =0 \ \Rightarrow & y =1 \qquad {[\because y > 0] } \end{aligned}$ So, the required area $\begin{aligned} & =\pi+2 \int_0^1\left(\sqrt{\left.2-y^2\right)}-\sqrt{y}\right) d y \ & =\pi+2\left[\frac{y}{2} \sqrt{2-y^2}+\frac{2}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{2}{3} y^{3 / 2}\right]_0^1 \ & =\pi+2\left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{2}{3}\right]=\frac{3 \pi}{2}+1-\frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}$ $=\frac{3 \pi}{2}-\frac{1}{3} \text { sq. units }$ Hence, option (1) is correct.
