Correct answer: B

  1. Given curves

    y1=4−x24,y2=x−42y_1=4-\frac{x^2}{4}, \qquad y_2=\frac{x-4}{2}y1​=4−4x2​,y2​=2x−4​

    We need the area enclosed between these two curves.

  2. Find points of intersection

    Set 4−x24=x−424-\frac{x^2}{4}=\frac{x-4}{2}4−4x2​=2x−4​

    Multiply by 444: 16−x2=2x−816-x^2=2x-816−x2=2x−8

    Rearranging, x2+2x−24=0x^2+2x-24=0x2+2x−24=0

    Factorize: (x+6)(x−4)=0(x+6)(x-4)=0(x+6)(x−4)=0

    So the curves intersect at x=−6andx=4.x=-6 \quad \text{and} \quad x=4.x=−6andx=4.

  3. Determine which curve is above

    Consider y1−y2=(4−x24)−x−42y_1-y_2=\left(4-\frac{x^2}{4}\right)-\frac{x-4}{2}y1​−y2​=(4−4x2​)−2x−4​

    Simplify: y1−y2=4−x24−x2+2=6−x2−x24.y_1-y_2=4-\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{x}{2}+2=6-\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x^2}{4}.y1​−y2​=4−4x2​−2x​+2=6−2x​−4x2​.

    At x=0x=0x=0, y1−y2=6>0,y_1-y_2=6>0,y1​−y2​=6>0, so y1y_1y1​ is above y2y_2y2​ on [−6,4][-6,4][−6,4].

  4. Set up the area integral

    α=∫−64[(4−x24)−x−42]dx\alpha=\int_{-6}^{4}\left[\left(4-\frac{x^2}{4}\right)-\frac{x-4}{2}\right]dxα=∫−64​[(4−4x2​)−2x−4​]dx

    α=∫−64(6−x2−x24)dx\alpha=\int_{-6}^{4}\left(6-\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x^2}{4}\right)dxα=∫−64​(6−2x​−4x2​)dx

  5. Integrate

    ∫(6−x2−x24)dx=6x−x24−x312\int \left(6-\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x^2}{4}\right)dx=6x-\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{x^3}{12}∫(6−2x​−4x2​)dx=6x−4x2​−12x3​

    Therefore, α=[6x−x24−x312]−64.\alpha=\left[6x-\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{x^3}{12}\right]_{-6}^{4}.α=[6x−4x2​−12x3​]−64​.

  6. Evaluate at limits

    At x=4x=4x=4: 6(4)−424−4312=24−4−6412=20−163=443.6(4)-\frac{4^2}{4}-\frac{4^3}{12}=24-4-\frac{64}{12}=20-\frac{16}{3}=\frac{44}{3}.6(4)−442​−1243​=24−4−1264​=20−316​=344​.

    At x=−6x=-6x=−6: 6(−6)−(−6)24−(−6)312=−36−9+18=−27.6(-6)-\frac{(-6)^2}{4}-\frac{(-6)^3}{12}=-36-9+18=-27.6(−6)−4(−6)2​−12(−6)3​=−36−9+18=−27.

    Hence, α=443−(−27)=443+813=1253.\alpha=\frac{44}{3}-(-27)=\frac{44}{3}+\frac{81}{3}=\frac{125}{3}.α=344​−(−27)=344​+381​=3125​.

  7. Compute 6α6\alpha6α

    6α=6⋅1253=250.6\alpha=6\cdot \frac{125}{3}=250.6α=6⋅3125​=250.

  8. Match with options

    6α=2506\alpha=2506α=250

    So the correct option is B.
