Application of Integrals MCQs

1. Find the area enclosed between the curve 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 16 and the coordinate axes in
the first quadrant.
(a) 4π sq. units (b) 8π sq. units
(c) 2π sq. units (d) 12π sq. units

solution

(a) Given curve is a circle with centre(0,0) and radius 4 .

∴ Required area = ∫0 √16 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥
𝑥 16 𝑥 4
= [2 √16 − 𝑥 2 + sin−1 4] = 4𝜋 sq. units
2 0

2. The area between the curve 𝑦 = 4 + 3𝑥 − 𝑥 2 and x-axis is

(a) sq. units (b) sq. units

(c) sq. units (d) none of these

solution

(a): We have, 𝑦 = 4 + 3𝑥 − 𝑥 2 , a parabola with vertex at (2 , 4 )
Putting 𝑦 = 0, we get 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 − 4 = 0
⇒ (𝑥 − 4)(𝑥 + 1) = 0 ⇒ 𝑥 = −1 or 𝑥 = 4

∴ Required area = ∫−1 (4 + 3𝑥 − 𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑥

3. The area bounded by the curve 2𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 2 is
(a) π sq. units (b) √2π sq. units
𝜋
(c) 2 sq. units (d) 2π sq. units

solution

(b) : We have, 2𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 2
𝑥2 𝑦2
⇒ + = 1, an ellipse

Here, 𝑎 = 1 and 𝑏 = √2
𝑥2 𝑦2
∵ Area bounded by the ellipse 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 1 is 𝜋𝑎𝑏
∴ Required area = 𝜋√2 sq. units.

4. The area of the region bounded by the parabola 𝑦 = 𝑥² + 1 and the straight line 𝑥 +
𝑦 = 3 is given by
1 1
(a) ∫−2(3 − 𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑥 (b) ∫−2{(𝑥 2 + 1)} − 3𝑥𝑑𝑥
1 1
(c) ∫−1{3 − 𝑥 − (𝑥 2 + 1)} 𝑑𝑥 (d) ∫−2{3 − 𝑥 − (𝑥 2 + 1)} 𝑑𝑥

solution

(d): We have, 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 1 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 3


Solving (i) and (ii), we get

𝑥 2 + 𝑥 − 2 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥 = −2,1
Required area = area of shaded region

5. The area bounded by 𝑥 = |𝑦| and line 𝑥 = 2, is
(a) 4 sq. units (b) 5 sq. units
(c) 1 sq. unit (d) 3 sq. units

solution

(a): We have, 𝑥 = 𝑦, if 𝑦 ≥ 0, 𝑥 = −𝑦, if 𝑦 < 0 and 𝑥 = 2

Required area = area of shaded region

(c) 3 sq. units (d) 3 sq. units

solution

(d): We know that the area of region bounded by the parabola 𝑦 2 = 4𝑎𝑥 and its latus
8
rectum is 3 𝑎2 sq. units

Here, 𝑎 = 1, therefore required area = 3 sq. units
