NDA 2026 · PYQ · Area between Curves · medium

Consider the curves y = x² and y = 2|x|. What is the area bounded by these curves and the lines x = 0 and x = 1?

  1. A.1 sq unit
  2. B.2/3 sq unit✓ Correct
  3. C.1/2 sq unit
  4. D.1/3 sq unit

Explanation

On [0, 1], 2x ≥ x² (since 2x - x² = x(2-x) ≥ 0). Area = ∫₀¹ (2x - x²) dx = [x² - x³/3]₀¹ = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 sq unit.
