    Area between the vertex and the latusrectum of the parabola\[{{y}^{2}}=4ax\]is

    A)  \[\frac{4}{3}{{a}^{2}}sq\,units\]

    B)  \[\frac{8}{3}{{a}^{2}}sq\,units\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{3}{{a}^{2}}sq\,units\]

    D)  \[\frac{5}{3}{{a}^{2}}sq\,units\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Area between the vertex and latusrectum of the parabola\[{{y}^{2}}=4ax\] \[=2\int_{0}^{a}{\sqrt{4ax}}dx\] \[=2.2\sqrt{a}\left[ \frac{\frac{{{x}^{3/2}}}{3}}{2} \right]_{0}^{a}\] \[=4\sqrt{a}.\frac{2}{3}[{{a}^{3/2}}]=\frac{8}{3}{{a}^{2}}\]sq units
