The area lying between the curves x2=4yx^2=4y and x=2yx=2y is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The curves meet where x2=4⋅x2=2xx^2=4\cdot\frac{x}{2}=2x, so x=0x=0 and x=2x=2.

Area =∫02(x2−x24)dx=[x24−x312]02=1−23=13=\int_0^2\left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x^2}{4}\right)dx=\left[\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{x^3}{12}\right]_0^2=1-\frac23=\frac13 square units.
