The area (in square units) of the region bounded by $x^2=8 y, x=4$ and $X$-axis, is

The area (in square units) of the region bounded by $x^2=8 y, x=4$ and $X$-axis, is
  1. $\frac{2}{3}$
  2. $\frac{4}{3}$
  3. $\frac{8}{3}$
  4. $\frac{10}{3}$

Solution

Given equations are $\begin{aligned} x^2 & =8 y \\ x & =4 \\ y & =0\end{aligned}$ and
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $(4,2)$ The required area $=\int_0^4 y d x=\int_0^4 \frac{x^2}{8} d x=\left[\frac{x^3}{24}\right]_0^4=\frac{64}{24}=\frac{8}{3}$ The required area $=\frac{8}{3}$ sq units
