Correct answer: B

  1. Interpret the region

We are given S={(x,y):y2≤8x,  y≥2 x,  x≥1}.S=\{(x,y): y^2\le 8x,\; y\ge \sqrt{2}\,x,\; x\ge 1\}.S={(x,y):y2≤8x,y≥2​x,x≥1}.

The curves/boundaries are:

  • Parabola: y2=8x  ⟹  x=y28y^2=8x \implies x=\frac{y^2}{8}y2=8x⟹x=8y2​
  • Line: y=2 x  ⟹  x=y2y=\sqrt{2}\,x \implies x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}y=2​x⟹x=2​y​
  • Vertical line: x=1x=1x=1

Also, since y≥2xy\ge \sqrt{2}xy≥2​x and x≥1x\ge 1x≥1, we have y≥2y\ge \sqrt{2}y≥2​.


  1. Understand the inequalities

From y2≤8x,y^2\le 8x,y2≤8x, we get x≥y28.x\ge \frac{y^2}{8}.x≥8y2​.

From y≥2x,y\ge \sqrt{2}x,y≥2​x, we get x≤y2.x\le \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}.x≤2​y​.

And also x≥1.x\ge 1.x≥1.

So for a fixed yyy, the allowed xxx satisfy max⁡(1,y28)≤x≤y2.\max\left(1,\frac{y^2}{8}\right) \le x \le \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}.max(1,8y2​)≤x≤2​y​.

Hence we must determine the yyy-range where this is possible.


  1. Find relevant intersection points

(i) Line and parabola

Solve y=2x,y2=8x.y=\sqrt{2}x,\qquad y^2=8x.y=2​x,y2=8x. Substitute x=y2x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}x=2​y​ into y2=8xy^2=8xy2=8x: y2=8⋅y2=42 y.y^2=8\cdot \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}=4\sqrt{2}\,y.y2=8⋅2​y​=42​y. So, y(y−42)=0.y(y-4\sqrt{2})=0.y(y−42​)=0. Thus the positive intersection is y=42,x=y2=4.y=4\sqrt{2},\qquad x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}=4.y=42​,x=2​y​=4.

(ii) Line and x=1x=1x=1

At x=1x=1x=1, y=2.y=\sqrt{2}.y=2​. So point is (1,2)(1,\sqrt{2})(1,2​).

(iii) Parabola and x=1x=1x=1

At x=1x=1x=1, y2=8  ⟹  y=22(upper branch relevant).y^2=8 \implies y=2\sqrt{2} \quad (\text{upper branch relevant}).y2=8⟹y=22​(upper branch relevant). So point is (1,22)(1,2\sqrt{2})(1,22​).


  1. Describe the region by horizontal strips

For yyy between 2\sqrt{2}2​ and 222\sqrt{2}22​:

  • y28≤1,\frac{y^2}{8}\le 1,8y2​≤1, so left boundary is x=1x=1x=1.
  • Right boundary is x=y2x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}x=2​y​.

For yyy between 222\sqrt{2}22​ and 424\sqrt{2}42​:

  • y28≥1,\frac{y^2}{8}\ge 1,8y2​≥1, so left boundary is x=y28x=\frac{y^2}{8}x=8y2​.
  • Right boundary is x=y2x=\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}x=2​y​.

Therefore, Area=∫222(y2−1)dy+∫2242(y2−y28)dy.\text{Area} = \int_{\sqrt{2}}^{2\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-1\right)dy + \int_{2\sqrt{2}}^{4\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y^2}{8}\right)dy.Area=∫2​22​​(2​y​−1)dy+∫22​42​​(2​y​−8y2​)dy.


  1. Compute the first integral

I1=∫222(y2−1)dy.I_1=\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{2\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-1\right)dy.I1​=∫2​22​​(2​y​−1)dy.

Antiderivative: ∫(y2−1)dy=y222−y.\int \left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-1\right)dy=\frac{y^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-y.∫(2​y​−1)dy=22​y2​−y.

So, I1=[y222−y]222.I_1=\left[\frac{y^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-y\right]_{\sqrt{2}}^{2\sqrt{2}}.I1​=[22​y2​−y]2​22​​.

At y=22y=2\sqrt{2}y=22​: (22)222−22=822−22=42−22=22−22=0.\frac{(2\sqrt{2})^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-2\sqrt{2}=\frac{8}{2\sqrt{2}}-2\sqrt{2}=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}-2\sqrt{2}=2\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{2}=0.22​(22​)2​−22​=22​8​−22​=2​4​−22​=22​−22​=0.

At y=2y=\sqrt{2}y=2​: (2)222−2=222−2=12−2=−22.\frac{(\sqrt{2})^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2}=\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2}=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.22​(2​)2​−2​=22​2​−2​=2​1​−2​=−22​​.

Thus, I1=0−(−22)=22.I_1=0-\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.I1​=0−(−22​​)=22​​.


  1. Compute the second integral

I2=∫2242(y2−y28)dy.I_2=\int_{2\sqrt{2}}^{4\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y^2}{8}\right)dy.I2​=∫22​42​​(2​y​−8y2​)dy.

Antiderivative: ∫(y2−y28)dy=y222−y324.\int \left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y^2}{8}\right)dy=\frac{y^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y^3}{24}.∫(2​y​−8y2​)dy=22​y2​−24y3​.

So, I2=[y222−y324]2242.I_2=\left[\frac{y^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y^3}{24}\right]_{2\sqrt{2}}^{4\sqrt{2}}.I2​=[22​y2​−24y3​]22​42​​.

At y=42y=4\sqrt{2}y=42​: \frac{(4\sqrt{2})^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{(4\sqrt{2})^3}{24}= rac{32}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{128\sqrt{2}}{24}=\frac{16}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{3}=8\sqrt{2}-\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{3}=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3}.

At y=22y=2\sqrt{2}y=22​: \frac{(2\sqrt{2})^2}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{(2\sqrt{2})^3}{24}= rac{8}{2\sqrt{2}}-\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{24}=2\sqrt{2}-\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}.

Thus, I2=823−423=423.I_2=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3}-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}.I2​=382​​−342​​=342​​.


  1. Total area

Area=I1+I2=22+423.\text{Area}=I_1+I_2=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}.Area=I1​+I2​=22​​+342​​.

Taking LCM 666: Area=326+826=1126.\text{Area}=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{6}+\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{6}=\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{6}.Area=632​​+682​​=6112​​.


  1. Compare with options

The correct option is 1126\boxed{\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{6}}6112​​​ which is Option B.
