Correct answer: B

  1. Interpret the regions

We are given A={(x,y)∈R2:y≥0, 2x≤y≤4−(x−1)2}A=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2: y\ge 0,\ 2x\le y\le \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\}A={(x,y)∈R2:y≥0, 2x≤y≤4−(x−1)2​} and B={(x,y)∈R2:0≤y≤min⁡{2x,4−(x−1)2}}.B=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2: 0\le y\le \min\{2x,\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\}\}.B={(x,y)∈R2:0≤y≤min{2x,4−(x−1)2​}}.

The curve y=4−(x−1)2y=\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}y=4−(x−1)2​ is the upper semicircle of the circle (x−1)2+y2=4,(x-1)^2+y^2=4,(x−1)2+y2=4, which has center (1,0)(1,0)(1,0) and radius 222.

The line is y=2x.y=2x.y=2x.

Both regions lie above the xxx-axis.


  1. Find intersection points of the line and semicircle

Set 2x=4−(x−1)2.2x=\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}.2x=4−(x−1)2​. Since the square root is nonnegative, we must have x≥0x\ge 0x≥0.

Squaring: 4x2=4−(x−1)2.4x^2=4-(x-1)^2.4x2=4−(x−1)2. Now, (x−1)2=x2−2x+1,(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1,(x−1)2=x2−2x+1, so 4x2=4−(x2−2x+1)=3−x2+2x.4x^2=4-(x^2-2x+1)=3-x^2+2x.4x2=4−(x2−2x+1)=3−x2+2x. Thus, 5x2−2x−3=0.5x^2-2x-3=0.5x2−2x−3=0. Solving: x=2±4+6010=2±810.x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+60}}{10}=\frac{2\pm 8}{10}.x=102±4+60​​=102±8​. Hence, x=1orx=−35.x=1\quad \text{or} \quad x=-\frac35.x=1orx=−53​. But x=−35x=-\frac35x=−53​ is invalid because then 2x<02x<02x<0 while the square root is nonnegative. So the relevant intersection is (1,2).(1,2).(1,2).


  1. Understand region BBB

Region BBB is the area under the smaller of the two curves: y=2xandy=4−(x−1)2,y=2x \quad \text{and} \quad y=\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2},y=2xandy=4−(x−1)2​, with y≥0y\ge 0y≥0.

The semicircle exists for −1≤x≤3.-1\le x\le 3.−1≤x≤3. For x<0x<0x<0, we have 2x<02x<02x<0, so min⁡{2x,4−(x−1)2}<0\min\{2x,\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\}<0min{2x,4−(x−1)2​}<0, and the condition 0≤y≤min⁡{⋯ }0\le y\le \min\{\cdots\}0≤y≤min{⋯} is impossible. Hence BBB only exists for x≥0x\ge 0x≥0.

From the intersection analysis:

  • for 0≤x≤10\le x\le 10≤x≤1, we have 2x≤4−(x−1)22x\le \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}2x≤4−(x−1)2​,
  • for 1≤x≤31\le x\le 31≤x≤3, we have 4−(x−1)2≤2x\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\le 2x4−(x−1)2​≤2x.

Therefore, Area(B)=∫012x dx+∫134−(x−1)2 dx.\text{Area}(B)=\int_0^1 2x\,dx+\int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\,dx.Area(B)=∫01​2xdx+∫13​4−(x−1)2​dx.

Compute: ∫012x dx=[x2]01=1.\int_0^1 2x\,dx=[x^2]_0^1=1.∫01​2xdx=[x2]01​=1.

For the second integral, let u=x−1u=x-1u=x−1. Then when x=1x=1x=1, u=0u=0u=0, and when x=3x=3x=3, u=2u=2u=2: ∫134−(x−1)2 dx=∫024−u2 du.\int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\,dx=\int_0^2 \sqrt{4-u^2}\,du.∫13​4−(x−1)2​dx=∫02​4−u2​du. This is the area of a quarter circle of radius 222: ∫024−u2 du=π(2)24=π.\int_0^2 \sqrt{4-u^2}\,du=\frac{\pi (2)^2}{4}=\pi.∫02​4−u2​du=4π(2)2​=π. So, Area(B)=1+π.\boxed{\text{Area}(B)=1+\pi.}Area(B)=1+π.​


  1. Understand region AAA

Region AAA satisfies 2x≤y≤4−(x−1)2,y≥0.2x\le y\le \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}, \quad y\ge 0.2x≤y≤4−(x−1)2​,y≥0. So it is the part between the semicircle and the line where the semicircle lies above the line.

This occurs for x∈[−1,1]x\in[-1,1]x∈[−1,1], but we must also respect y≥0y\ge 0y≥0 and y≥2xy\ge 2xy≥2x.

A simpler observation is:

  • The entire upper semicircle area is 12π(2)2=2π.\frac12\pi(2)^2=2\pi.21​π(2)2=2π.
  • This upper semicircle is partitioned into two disjoint parts: region AAA and region BBB.

Indeed, for each xxx where the semicircle exists and y≥0y\ge 0y≥0, the vertical segment from y=0y=0y=0 to the semicircle is split by the lower boundary y=2xy=2xy=2x into:

  • the part below the minimum curve = region BBB,
  • the part above the line and below semicircle = region AAA.

Hence, Area(A)+Area(B)=2π.\text{Area}(A)+\text{Area}(B)=2\pi.Area(A)+Area(B)=2π. Therefore, Area(A)=2π−(π+1)=π−1.\text{Area}(A)=2\pi-(\pi+1)=\pi-1.Area(A)=2π−(π+1)=π−1.


  1. Compute the required ratio

Area(A)Area(B)=π−1π+1.\frac{\text{Area}(A)}{\text{Area}(B)}=\frac{\pi-1}{\pi+1}.Area(B)Area(A)​=π+1π−1​.

So the correct option is B π−1π+1.\boxed{\text{B }\frac{\pi-1}{\pi+1}}.B π+1π−1​​.
