Students must select the appropriate option and compare their results to the solutions on this page. Also, check important questions for class 12 Maths.

1) The area bounded by the curves y2 = 4x and y = x is equal to

1. 1/3
2. 8/3
3. 35/6
4. None of these

Answer: (b) 8/3

Explanation:

For the given curves, y2 = 4x and y = x, the intersection points are (0, 0) and (4, 4).

Therefore, the area bounded by the curves,

A =0∫4 [√(4x)-x] dx [since y2 = 4x, y = √(4x) ]

A = 2. 0∫4√x dx – 0∫4 x dx

Integrate the function and apply the limits, we get

A = (4/3)(8) – 8

A = (32-24)/3 = 8/3.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

2) The area of the figure bounded by the curve y = logex, the x-axis and the straight line x = e is

1. 5-e
2. 3+e
3. 1
4. None of these

Answer: (c) 1

Explanation:

At, x= 1, y = loge (1) = 0

At, x = e, y = loge (e) = 1

Therefore, A = 1∫e logex dx

Using integration by parts,

A = [x loge x – x]1e

Now, apply the limits, we get

A = [e-e-0+1]

A = 1

3) The area of the region bounded by the curve x² = 4y and the straight line x = 4y – 2 is

1. ⅜ sq. units
2. ⅝ sq. units
3. ⅞ sq. units
4. 9/8 sq. units

Answer: (d) 9/8 sq. units

Explanation:

For the curves x2 = y and x = 4y-2, the points of intersection are x = -1 and x = 2.

Hence, the required area, A = -1∫2 {[(x+2)/4]- [x2/4] } dx

Now, integrate the function and apply the limits, we get

A = (¼)[(10/3)-(-7/6)]

A = (¼)(9/2) = 9/8 sq. units

Hence, the correct answer is option (d) 9/8 sq. units

4) The area enclosed between the graph of y = x3 and the lines x = 0, y = 1, y = 8 is

1. 7
2. 14
3. 45/4
4. None of these

Answer: (c) 45/4

Explanation:

Given curve, y=x3 or x = y1/3.

Hence, the required area, A = 1∫8 y1/3 dy

A = [(y4/3)/(4/3)]18

Now, apply the limits, we get

A = (¾)(16-1)

A = (¾)(15) = 45/4.

Hence, option (c) 45/4 is the correct answer.

5) The area of the region bounded by the curve y² = x, the y-axis and between y = 2 and y = 4 is

1. 52/3 sq. units
2. 54/3 sq. units
3. 56/3 sq. units
4. None of these

Answer: (c) 56/3

Explanation:

Given: y2 = x

Hence, the required area, A = 2∫4 y2 dy

A = [y3/3]24

A = (43/3) – (23/3)

A = (64/3) – (8/3)

A = 56/3 sq. units.

6) Area of the region bounded by the curve y = cos x between x = 0 and x = π is

1. 1 sq. units
2. 2 sq. units
3. 3 sq. units
4. 4 sq. units

Answer: (b) 2 sq. units

Explanation:

Given: y= cos x and also provided that x= 0 and x = π

Hence, the required area, A =0∫π |cos x| dx

It can also be written as,

A = 20∫π/2 cos x dx

Now, integrate the function, we get

A = 2[sin x]0π/2

Now, apply the limits we get

A = 2 sq. units

Hence, the correct answer is option (b) 2 sq. units.

7) Area of the region bounded by the curve x = 2y + 3, the y-axis and between y = -1 and y = 1 is

1. 6 sq. units
2. 4 sq. units
3. 8 sq. units
4. 3/2 sq. units

Answer: (a) 6 sq. units

Explanation:

Required Area =-1∫1(2y+3)dy

A=[(2y2/2)+3y]-11

Now, apply the limits, we get

A = 1+3-1+3

A = 6 sq. units.

8) The area bounded by the curve y = x3, the x-axis and two ordinates x = 1 and x = 2 is

1. 15/2 sq. units
2. 15/4 sq. units
3. 17/2 sq. units
4. 17/4 sq. units

Answer: (b) 15/4 sq. units

Explanation:

Required Area = 1∫2 x3 dx

A = [x4/4]12

Now, apply the limits, we get

A = [(24/4) – (¼)]

A = (16/4) – (¼)

A = 15/4

Hence, the required area is 15/4 is the correct answer.

9) The area of the region bounded by the circle x² + y² = 1 is

1. 2π sq. units
2. 3π sq. units
3. 4π sq. units
4. 1π sq. units

Answer: (d) 1π sq. units

Explanation: Given:

Given circle equation is x2+y2 =1, whose centre is (0, 0) and radius is 1.

Therefore, y2 = 1-x2

y=√(1-x2)

Hence, the required area, A = 40∫1√(1-x2) dx

Now, integrate the function and apply limits, we get

A = 4(½)(π/2)

A = π sq. units

Hence, option (d) 1π sq. unit is the correct answer.

10) Area bounded by the curve y = sin x and the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 2π is

1. 2 sq. units
2. 3 sq. units
3. 4 sq. units
4. None of these

Answer: (c) 4 sq. units

Explanation:

Required Area, A = 0∫2π |sin x| dx

A = 0∫π sin x dx + π∫2π(-sin x) dx

Now, substitute the limits, we get

A= 4 sq. units.
