  1. The area enclosed between the curves y² = 4x and x² = 4y is
    1. 16/3
    2. 8
    3. 32/3
    4. 16
Correct Option: A

Given: y² = 4x
x² = 4y

x4
= 4x
16

or x4 = 64x
or x(x³ – 64) = 0
or x³ = 64
or x = 4
∴ y = 4
∴ Required area = 404x -
dx

Alternately
For point where both parabolas cut each other
y² = 4x, x² = 4y
∴ x² = 4 √4x
or x² = 8√x
or x4 = 16 x
or x³ = 16
∴ x =(4, 0), (–4, 0)
∴ Required area
= 404x - 40
