    The area bounded by the curve \[{{y}^{2}}(2a-x)={{x}^{3}}\]and the line \[x=2a\] is

    A) \[3\pi {{a}^{2}}\] sq. unit

    B) \[\frac{3\pi {{a}^{2}}}{2}\] sq. unit

    C)  \[\frac{3\pi {{a}^{2}}}{4}\] sq. unit

    D) \[\frac{6\pi {{a}^{2}}}{5}\] sq. unit

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let the equation of curve
    \[{{y}^{2}}(2a-x)={{x}^{3}}...(i)\]
    and equation of line \[x=2a...(ii)\]
    The given curve is symmetrical about x-axis and passes through origin.
    From (i) we have, \[{{y}^{2}}=\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{2a-x}\]
    But \[\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{2a-x}<0\] for \[x>2a\] and \[x<0\]
    So, curve does not lie in the portion \[x>2a\] and \[x<0\], therefore curve lies in \[0\le x\le 2a\].
    \[\therefore \] Area bounded by the curve and line
    \[=\int\limits_{0}^{2a}{ydx=\int\limits_{0}^{2a}{\frac{{{x}^{3/2}}}{\sqrt{2a}-x}dx}}\]
    Put \[x=2a{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \] and \[dx=4a\sin \theta \cos \theta d\theta \]
    \[\therefore I=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi /2}{8{{a}^{2}}{{\sin }^{4}}\theta d\theta =8{{a}^{2}}\left[ \frac{3}{4}.\frac{1}{2}.\frac{\pi }{2} \right]}\]
    \[=\frac{3\pi {{a}^{2}}}{2}\] sq. unit
