    The area enclosed by the curve \[x=a\text{ }co{{s}^{3}}t,\]\[y=b\text{ }si{{n}^{3}}t\] and the positive directions of x-axis and y-axis is

    A) \[\frac{\pi ab}{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi ab}{32}\]

    C) \[\frac{3\pi ab}{32}\]

    D) \[\frac{5\pi ab}{32}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[y=0\], when \[t=0\] and then \[x=a\] So desire area \[A=\int\limits_{0}^{a}{ydx=\int\limits_{\pi /2}^{0}{b{{\sin }^{3}}t(-3a\,co{{s}^{2}}t\,\,sin\,\,tdt)}}\] \[A=3ab\int\limits_{0}^{\pi /2}{{{\sin }^{4}}t\,\,{{\cos }^{2}}t\,\,dt=3ab\int\limits_{0}^{\pi /2}{{{\cos }^{4}}t\,\,{{\sin }^{2}}tdt}}\] \[\therefore 2A=3ab\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}{{{\cos }^{2}}t\,{{\sin }^{2}}tdt=3ab\cdot \frac{\pi }{16}\Rightarrow A=\frac{3\pi ab}{32}}\]
