Correct answer: D

  1. Interpret the region

We need the area of

{(x,y):y2≥2x,  x2+y2≤4x,  x≥0,  y≥0}.\{(x,y): y^2\ge 2x,\; x^2+y^2\le 4x,\; x\ge 0,\; y\ge 0\}.{(x,y):y2≥2x,x2+y2≤4x,x≥0,y≥0}.

So the region lies in the first quadrant, inside the circle

x2+y2=4xx^2+y^2=4xx2+y2=4x

and satisfies

y2≥2x.y^2\ge 2x.y2≥2x.
  1. Rewrite the curves

(i) Circle

x2+y2≤4xx^2+y^2\le 4xx2+y2≤4x (x−2)2+y2≤4(x-2)^2+y^2\le 4(x−2)2+y2≤4

This is a circle centered at (2,0)(2,0)(2,0) with radius 222.

(ii) Parabola

y2=2xy^2=2xy2=2x

This is a right-opening parabola. Since y≥0y\ge 0y≥0, we use its upper branch.

Condition y2≥2xy^2\ge 2xy2≥2x means the point is to the left of the parabola.


  1. Find points of intersection

Substitute

x=y22x=\frac{y^2}{2}x=2y2​

into the circle:

(y22)2+y2=4⋅y22\left(\frac{y^2}{2}\right)^2+y^2=4\cdot \frac{y^2}{2}(2y2​)2+y2=4⋅2y2​ y44+y2=2y2\frac{y^4}{4}+y^2=2y^24y4​+y2=2y2 y44−y2=0\frac{y^4}{4}-y^2=04y4​−y2=0 y2(y24−1)=0y^2\left(\frac{y^2}{4}-1\right)=0y2(4y2​−1)=0

So,

y=0ory=2y=0 \quad \text{or} \quad y=2y=0ory=2

(since y≥0y\ge 0y≥0).

Corresponding xxx values:

  • for y=0y=0y=0, x=0x=0x=0
  • for y=2y=2y=2, x=2x=2x=2

Thus the curves intersect at

(0,0),(2,2).(0,0),\quad (2,2).(0,0),(2,2).
  1. Set up area using horizontal strips

For a fixed y∈[0,2]y\in[0,2]y∈[0,2]:

  • parabola gives left/right boundary condition x≤y22x\le \dfrac{y^2}{2}x≤2y2​,
  • circle gives x=2±4−y2.x=2\pm \sqrt{4-y^2}.x=2±4−y2​.

Since we are in the first quadrant and inside the circle, the relevant xxx-interval inside the circle is

2−4−y2≤x≤2+4−y2.2-\sqrt{4-y^2}\le x\le 2+\sqrt{4-y^2}.2−4−y2​≤x≤2+4−y2​.

We also need x≤y22x\le \dfrac{y^2}{2}x≤2y2​. In the first quadrant, the required part is between

x=2−4−y2x=2-\sqrt{4-y^2}x=2−4−y2​

and

x=y22,0≤y≤2.x=\frac{y^2}{2}, \qquad 0\le y\le 2.x=2y2​,0≤y≤2.

Hence area is

A=∫02(y22−(2−4−y2))dy.A=\int_0^2 \left(\frac{y^2}{2}-\left(2-\sqrt{4-y^2}\right)\right)dy.A=∫02​(2y2​−(2−4−y2​))dy.

So,

A=∫02(y22−2+4−y2)dy.A=\int_0^2 \left(\frac{y^2}{2}-2+\sqrt{4-y^2}\right)dy.A=∫02​(2y2​−2+4−y2​)dy.
  1. Evaluate the integral

Split it:

A=∫02y22 dy−∫022 dy+∫024−y2 dy.A=\int_0^2 \frac{y^2}{2}\,dy - \int_0^2 2\,dy + \int_0^2 \sqrt{4-y^2}\,dy.A=∫02​2y2​dy−∫02​2dy+∫02​4−y2​dy.

First term

∫02y22 dy=12⋅[y33]02=12⋅83=43.\int_0^2 \frac{y^2}{2}\,dy=\frac12\cdot \left[\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_0^2=\frac12\cdot \frac{8}{3}=\frac{4}{3}.∫02​2y2​dy=21​⋅[3y3​]02​=21​⋅38​=34​.

Second term

∫022 dy=4.\int_0^2 2\,dy=4.∫02​2dy=4.

Third term

∫024−y2 dy\int_0^2 \sqrt{4-y^2}\,dy∫02​4−y2​dy

is the area of a quarter-circle of radius 222, hence

=14π(2)2=π.=\frac14\pi (2)^2=\pi.=41​π(2)2=π.

Therefore,

A=43−4+π=π−83.A=\frac{4}{3}-4+\pi=\pi-\frac{8}{3}.A=34​−4+π=π−38​.
  1. Match with the options
A=π−83A=\pi-\frac{8}{3}A=π−38​

which is Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

So they agree.
