The area of the region bounded by the curves x2=4yx^2=4y and x=4yx=4y is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The curves meet where x24=x4\dfrac{x^2}{4}=\dfrac{x}{4}, i.e. x=0x=0 and x=1x=1. On [0,1][0,1] the line lies above the parabola, so area =∫01(x4−x24)dx=14(12−13)=124=\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{x^2}{4}\right)dx=\dfrac14\left(\dfrac12-\dfrac13\right)=\dfrac{1}{24}.
