    If the area between \[y=m{{x}^{2}}\]and \[x=m{{y}^{2}}(m>0)\]is \[1/4\,sq\]units, then the value of m is

    A) \[\pm \,3\sqrt{2}\]                         

    B) \[\pm \,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}\]                                       

    D)  \[\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given curves; \[y=m{{x}^{2}}\] and \[{{y}^{2}}m=x;\,m>0\] Intersection point of both curves; \[x=m{{(m{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}={{m}^{3}}{{x}^{4}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{m}^{3}}{{x}^{4}}-x=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x({{m}^{3}}{{x}^{3}}-1)=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \] \[x(mx-1)({{m}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}+1+mx)=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=0,x=1/m\] and \[y=0,y=1/m\] We take only the points \[=(0,0)\]  and \[(1/m,1/m)\] Now, the area of the curve \[=\int_{0}^{1/m}{\left( \sqrt{\frac{x}{m}}-m{{x}^{2}} \right)}\,dx\] Given,  \[\frac{1}{4}=\left[ \frac{2}{3\sqrt{m}}.{{x}^{3/2}}-m.\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3} \right]_{0}^{1/m}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{4}=\left[ \frac{2}{3\sqrt{m}}.\frac{1}{{{m}^{3/2}}}-\frac{m}{3}.\frac{1}{{{m}_{3}}} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{4}=\left\{ \frac{2}{3{{m}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{3{{m}^{2}}} \right\}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3{{m}^{2}}}\Rightarrow {{m}^{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\] \[\therefore \]  \[m=\pm \,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]
