JEE Main Past Year Questions With Solutions on Application of Integrations

Question 1: Find the area of the region A = {(x,y) Є R × R| 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 4 and y ≤ x² + 3}. [area in sq. units]

Solution:

Given: A = {(x,y) Є R × R| 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 4 and y ≤ x² + 3}.

Shaded region be required region. So, from above diagram

Required Region

= 59/6

Question 2: Let S(α) = {(x, y); y² ≤ x, y² ≤ α } and, A(α) is area of the region S(α). If for λ, 0 < λ < 4 and A(λ) : A(4) = 2 : 5. Then what will be the value of λ.

Solution:

Let S(α) = {(x, y); y² ≤ x, y² ≤ α }

A(4) = 2 × 4^3/2 = 16 and A(λ) = 2 × λ^3/2

As we know,

A(λ)/A(4) = 2/5

On putting values, we have

=> λ = 4 (4/25)^1/3

Question 3: Find the area of the region A = {(x, y) ; y²/2 ≤ x ≤ y + 4}.

Solution:

Consider equations from the given inequalities,

y² = 2x and x – y = 4

Here, y² = 2x is equation of parabola open towards the +ve x-axis and having focus (1/2, 0)

and x – y = 4, is a straight line.

Solving above equations, we get

y² = 2(y + 4)

or y² – 2y – 8 = 0

or y = 4 or y = -2

Therefore, point of intersection of line and curve are (2, -2) and (8, 4).

Required Area

= [(y²/2) + 4y – (y³/6)]_-2 ⁴

= 18 sq. units.

Question 4: Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = |x + 1| and y = 2^x, in the 1st quadrant.

Solution:

Given curves are y = |x + 1| and y = 2^x

From diagram,

Required area

= 3/2 – 1/log_e2

Question 5: Find the value of λ if area bounded by the parabola y² = 4λx and line y = λx is 1/9. Here λ > 0.

Solution:

Parabola y² = 4λx and line y = λx

=> (λx)² = 4λx

=> λ² x² = 4λx

Solving above equation ,we get

x = 0 and x = 4/λ

Now, required area is

=> 32/3λ – 8/λ = 1/9

=> λ = 24

Therefore, the value of λ is 24. Answer!

Question 6: Find the area bounded by the parabola y = x² – 1, the tangent at the point (2, 3) to it and the y-axis.

Solution:

Equation of parabola y = x² – 1

Tangent at (2, 3) is (y + 3)/2 = 2x – 1

or y = 4x – 5

From diagram, required area is

= area of triangle formed – ∫_-1 ³ √(y+1)dy

on solving above expression, we have

Required area = 8/3 sq. units.

Question 7: Find the area (in sq. units) of the region A = {x, y) ; 0 ≤ y ≤ x|x| + 1 and -1 ≤ x ≤ 1}.

Solution:

The required area, A is

By substituting values, we get

= 2

The required area is 2 sq. units.

Question 8: Find the value of k, if the area enclosed between the curves x = ky² and y = kx², k > 0, is one square unit.

Solution:

Given curves are x = ky² and y = kx²

form given curves, we have

x = k(kx²) ²

=> x = k (k²x⁴)

=> x = 0 or x³ = (1/k) ³

=> x = 0, 1/k

So, (0, 0) and (1/k, 1/k) are the points of intersection.

Now,

The required area

=> 2/3k² – 1/3k² = 1

=> 1/k² = 3

=> k² = 1/3

or k = 1/√3

Question 9: Find the area (in sq. units) bounded by the curve x² = 4y and the straight-line x = 4y – 2.

Solution:

First find point of intersection between curve and straight line.

x² = 4y and x = 4y – 2.

=> y = x²/4 and y = (x+2)/4

Solving x² = x+2

=> x² – x – 2 = 0

=> (x + 1)(x – 2) = 0

=> x = -1, 2

Now, required area

= 1/4[(6 – 8/3) – (5/6 – 2)]

= 1/4[10/3 + 7/6]

= 9/8

Question 10: What will be the area in the first quadrant bounded by the parabola, y = x² + 1, the tangent to it at the point (2, 5) and the coordinate axes.

Solution:

The equation of tangent is:

(y + 5)/2 = 2x + 1

=> y + 5 = 4x + 2

or y = 4x – 3

Required area =  ∫₀ ² [(x² + 1) – (1/2) ×( 5/4) × 5

= [(x³/3) + x]₀ ²  – (25/8)

= 8/3 + 2 – 25/8

= 37/24

Question 11: Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola, y = x² + 2 and the lines, y = x + 1, x = 0 and x = 3.

Solution:

From the given equations, let us draw the point of intersection and region to find the area.

Required area 

= 15/2

Question 12: The area of the region, enclosed by the circle x² + y² = 2 which is not common to the region bounded by the parabola y² = x and the straight line y = x, is

(a) 1/3(12π – 1)

(b) 1/6(12π – 1)

(c) 1/3(6π – 1)

(d) 1/6(24π – 1)

Solution:

Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Required Area = Area of the circle – Area bounded by given line and parabola

= πr² -∫₀ ¹ (y – y²) dy

= 2π – [(y² /2) – (y³/3)]₀ ¹ (Comparing with the general form of equation of a circle, r = √2)

= 2π – 1/6

= (1/6)(12π – 1) sq. units.

(a) 125/3

(b) 128/3

(c) 124/3

(d) 127/3

Solution:

Answer : (b)

Explanation:

For point of intersection,

4x² = 8x + 12

or x = 3, -1

Area bounded is given as:

= 128/3

Question 14: The area bounded by the curve

(b) 57/4

(c) 59/3

(d) 57/6
