Solution

The correct option is B y=f(x) is a straight line parallel to xaxis
f(x)=∣ ∣ ∣33x3x2+2a23x3x2+2a23x3+4a2x3x2+2a23x3+6a2x3x4+8a2x2+2a4∣ ∣ ∣

Applying C3C3xC2 and C2C2xC1

f(x)=∣ ∣ ∣302a23x2a22a2x3x2+2a24a2x2a2x2+2a4∣ ∣ ∣

=4a4∣ ∣3013x1x3x2+2a22xx2+a2∣ ∣

Applying C1C13C3, we get
f(x)=4a4∣ ∣00101xa22xx2+a2∣ ∣=4a6

So, f(x)=0
y=f(x) is a straight line parallel to xaxis.
20f(x)dx=8a6
