(d) 7

JEE Mains 30/01/2024 Shift-I

Ans. (b) : Parabola: $y^2 = 4(x–2)$ and line, $y = 2x – 8$

$$y^2 = 4x - 8$$ $$\text{And } y = 2x - 8 \implies 2x = y + 8$$ $$y^2 = 2(y + 8) - 8$$ $$y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0$$ $$y = 4 \text{ and } y = -2$$ $$A = \int_{-2}^{4} \left( \left( \frac{y + 8}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{y^2 + 8}{4} \right) \right) dy$$ $$= \left[ \frac{y^2}{4} + 2y - \frac{y^3}{12} - 2y \right]_{-2}^{4}$$ $$= \left( \frac{16}{4} - \frac{64}{12} \right) - \left( \frac{4}{4} - \frac{-8}{12} \right)$$ $$= \left( 4 - \frac{16}{3} \right) - \left( 1 + \frac{2}{3} \right)$$ $$= -\frac{4}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = -3$$ $$\text{Taking magnitude, } A = 9 \text{ sq. units}$$

8. Let A be the region enclosed by the parabola $y^2 = 2x$ and the line $x = 24$. Then the maximum area of the rectangle inscribed in the region A is ________.

JEE Mains 08/04/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (128) :

$$A = 2b \left( 24 - \frac{b^2}{2} \right)$$ $$\frac{dA}{db} = 0 \Rightarrow b = 4$$ $$A = 2(4) \left( 24 - \frac{4^2}{2} \right)$$ $$= 8 \times (24 - 8) = 8 \times 16 = 128$$

9. Let the area of the region $\{(x, y) : 0 \le x \le 3, 0 \le y \le \min \{x^2 + 2, 2x + 2\}\}$ be A. Then $12A$ is equal to _____.

JEE Mains 29/01/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (164) : We have-

$$\{(x, y) : 0 \le x \le 3, 0 \le y \le \min \{x^2 + 2, 2x + 2\}\}$$ $$A = \int_{0}^{2} (x^2 + 2) dx + \int_{2}^{3} (2x + 2) dx$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} + 2x \right]_{0}^{2} + \left[ x^2 + 2x \right]_{2}^{3}$$ $$A = \left( \frac{8}{3} + 4 \right) + (15 - 8)$$ $$A = \frac{20}{3} + 7 = \frac{41}{3}$$ $$\text{Hence, } 12A = 12 \times \frac{41}{3} = 164$$

10. The area (in sq. units) of the region described by $\{(x, y) : y^2 \le 2x, \text{ and } y \ge 4x – 1\}$ is

(a) $\frac{11}{32}$

(b) $\frac{8}{9}$

(d) $\frac{9}{32}$

JEE Mains 04/04/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (d) : Given: $\{(x, y) : y^2 \le 2x, \text{ and } y \ge 4x – 1\}$

$$y^2 = 2x \quad \text{---(i)}$$ $$y = 4x – 1 \quad \text{---(ii)}$$

The point of intersection of the curve (i) and (ii) is

$$(4x – 1)^2 = 2x$$ $$16x^2 + 1 - 8x = 2x$$ $$16x^2 - 10x + 1 = 0$$ $$x = \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{8}$$

Therefore the points where these curves intersect are $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$ and $\left(\frac{1}{8}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$.

Hence required area

$$= \int_{-1/2}^{1} \left( \frac{y + 1}{4} - \frac{y^2}{2} \right) dy$$ $$= \left[ \frac{y^2}{8} + \frac{y}{4} - \frac{y^3}{6} \right]_{-1/2}^{1} = \frac{9}{32}$$

11. The area (in sq. units) of the region $S = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z – 1| \le 2; (z + \bar{z}) + i(z – \bar{z}) \le 2, \text{Im}(z) \ge 0\}$ is

Put $z = x + iy$

$$|z – 1| \le 2 \implies (x – 1)^2 + y^2 \le 4 \quad \text{---(1)}$$ $$(z + \bar{z}) + i(z – \bar{z}) \le 2 \implies 2x + i(2iy) \le 2 \implies x – y \le 1 \quad \text{---(2)}$$ $$\text{Im}(z) \ge 0 \implies y \ge 0 \quad \text{---(3)}$$

Required area

$$= \text{Area of semi-circle} - \text{area of sector } A$$ $$= \frac{1}{2}\pi(2)^2 - \frac{45^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi(2)^2$$ $$= 2\pi - \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\pi$$

12. Area of region enclosed by $S_1 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| \le 5\}$, $S_2 = \left\{ z \in \mathbb{C} : \text{Im}\left(\frac{z + 1 - \sqrt{3}i}{1 - \sqrt{3}i}\right) \ge 0 \right\}$ and $S_3 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : \text{Re}(z) \ge 0\}$

(a) $\frac{125}{6}\pi$

(b) $\frac{125}{24}\pi$

(d) $\frac{125}{12}\pi$

JEE Mains 05/04/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (d) : Given,

$$S_1 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| \le 5\}$$

Let $z = x + iy$, $|z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$

$$S_1 : x^2 + y^2 \le 25 \quad \text{---(i)}$$ $$\frac{(z + 1 - \sqrt{3}i)(1 + \sqrt{3}i)}{(1 - \sqrt{3}i)(1 + \sqrt{3}i)}$$ $$= \frac{(z + 1 - \sqrt{3}i)(1 + \sqrt{3}i)}{1 + 3}$$

With $z = x + iy$, simplifying yields $\sqrt{3}x + y \ge 0$.

$$\text{Area } = \frac{\pi (5)^2}{2} - \frac{\pi (5)^2}{6} = \frac{25\pi}{2} - \frac{25\pi}{6} = \frac{25\pi}{3}\left(1 - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{125\pi}{12}$$

13. The area enclosed between the curves $y = x|x|$ and $y = x – |x|$ is:

(a) $\frac{8}{3}$

(b) $\frac{2}{3}$

(d) $\frac{4}{3}$

JEE Mains 05/04/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (d) : Given, $y = x|x|$ and $y = x – |x|$

For $x < 0$, $y = -x^2$ and $y = 2x$

$$-x^2 = 2x \implies x^2 + 2x = 0 \implies x = 0, x = -2$$

When $x = 0, y = 0$

When $x = -2, y = -4$

Point of intersection $(-2, -4)$

$$\text{Area} = \int_{-2}^{0} (x|x| - (x - |x|)) dx = \int_{-2}^{0} (-x^2 - 2x) dx$$ $$= \left[ -\frac{x^3}{3} - x^2 \right]_{-2}^{0} = 0 - \left( \frac{8}{3} - 4 \right) = \frac{4}{3} \text{ sq. unit}$$

14. The area (in square units) of the region enclosed by the ellipse $x^2 + 3y^2 = 18$ in the first quadrant below the line $y = x$ is :

(b) $3\pi$

(d) $3\pi + 1$

JEE Mains 09/04/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (b) :

$$\frac{x^2}{18} + \frac{y^2}{6} = 1$$

Intersection with $y = x$:

$$x^2 + 3x^2 = 18 \implies 4x^2 = 18 \implies x = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}, \, y = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$$ $$\text{Area} = \int_{0}^{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}} x dx + \int_{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}}^{\sqrt{18}} \sqrt{\frac{18 - x^2}{3}} dx$$ $$= \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \left[ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{18 - x^2} + \frac{18}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{18}}\right) \right]_{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}}^{3\sqrt{2}}$$ $$= \frac{9}{4} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \left( 9 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} \cdot \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} - 9 \cdot \frac{\pi}{6} \right) = 3\pi$$

15. If the area of the region $\{(x,y): 0 \le y \le \min \{2x, 6x - x^2\}\}$ is A, then $12A$ is equal to _____.

JEE Mains 27/01/2024 Shift-II

Ans. (304) : $0 \le y \le \min \{2x, 6x – x^2\}$

Intersection point of $y = 2x$ and $y = 6x - x^2$ is $x = 4$.

$$\text{Required Area } A = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 8 + \int_{4}^{6} (6x - x^2) dx$$ $$A = 16 + \left[ 3x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{4}^{6}$$ $$A = 16 + \left( 108 - 72 \right) - \left( 48 - \frac{64}{3} \right)$$ $$A = 16 + 36 - 48 + \frac{64}{3} = 4 + \frac{64}{3} = \frac{76}{3}$$ $$\therefore 12A = 12 \times \frac{76}{3} = 304$$

16. The area (in sq. unit) of the part of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 169$ which is below the line $5x – y = 13$ is $\frac{\pi \alpha}{\beta} - \frac{65}{2} + \frac{\alpha}{\beta}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)$, where $\alpha, \beta$ are coprime numbers. Then $\alpha + \beta$ is equal to _____.

JEE Mains 29/01/2024 Shift-I

$$x^2 + y^2 = 169$$ $$\text{and } 5x – y = 13$$

$r \sin \alpha = 12$, $r \cos \alpha = 5 \implies \tan \alpha = \frac{12}{5}$

$$\text{Shaded area} = \text{area (arc AOB)} - \text{area } (\Delta\text{AOB})$$ $$= \frac{\pi r^2 \alpha}{360^\circ} + \frac{\pi r^2}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times 13 \cos \alpha$$ $$= \frac{169\pi}{4} + \frac{169\alpha}{2} - \frac{169}{2}\cos \alpha$$ $$= \frac{169\pi}{4} - \frac{65}{2} + \frac{169}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)$$

On comparing with the given area,

$$\alpha = 169, \quad \beta = 2$$ $$\text{Hence, } \alpha + \beta = 169 + 2 = 171$$

18. If A is the area in the first quadrant enclosed by the curve $C: 2x^2 – y + 1 = 0$, the tangent to $C$ at the point $(1, 3)$ and the line $x + y = 1$, then the value of $60A$ is ..........

JEE Mains 11/04/2023 Shift-II

Ans. (16) :

Required area $= \int_{0}^{3} (x^2 + 2) \, dx - \int_{0}^{3} (x + 1) \, dx$

$$= \int_{0}^{3} (x^2 - x + 1) \, dx$$ $$= \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} + x \right]_{0}^{3}$$ $$= \left( \frac{27}{3} - \frac{9}{2} + 3 \right) - 0$$ $$= 9 - \frac{9}{2} + 3 = 12 - \frac{9}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$$

In the first quadrant ($x \ge 0$), $|x + 1| = x + 1$. The curves intersect at $x = 0$ and $x = 1$.

Required area $= \int_{0}^{1} \left( (x + 1) - 2^x \right) dx$

$$= \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + x - \frac{2^x}{\log_e 2} \right]_{0}^{1}$$ $$= \left( \frac{1}{2} + 1 - \frac{2}{\log_e 2} \right) - \left( 0 + 0 - \frac{1}{\log_e 2} \right)$$ $$= \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{\log_e 2} + \frac{1}{\log_e 2}$$ $$= \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{\log_e 2}$$

Curves: $C_1 : y^2 \le 4x$, $C_2 : x + y \le 1$, with $x \ge 0, y \ge 0$.

Point of intersection $P$ of these two curves:

$$y^2 = 4x, \quad x + y = 1 \implies x = 1 - y$$ $$y^2 = 4(1 - y) \implies y^2 + 4y - 4 = 0$$ $$y = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 4(1)(-4)}}{2} = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2} = -2 + 2\sqrt{2} \quad (\because y \ge 0)$$ $$x = 1 - (-2 + 2\sqrt{2}) = 3 - 2\sqrt{2}$$

Required area $= \int_{0}^{3-2\sqrt{2}} 2\sqrt{x} \, dx + \int_{3-2\sqrt{2}}^{1} (1 - x) \, dx$

$$= \left[ \frac{4}{3} x^{3/2} \right]_{0}^{3-2\sqrt{2}} + \left[ x - \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{3-2\sqrt{2}}^{1}$$

Since $3 - 2\sqrt{2} = (\sqrt{2} - 1)^2$, we get:

$$= \frac{4}{3} (\sqrt{2} - 1)^3 + \left( \frac{1}{2} - \left( (3 - 2\sqrt{2}) - \frac{(3 - 2\sqrt{2})^2}{2} \right) \right)$$ $$= \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3} - \frac{10}{3} = a\sqrt{2} + b$$ $$\therefore a = \frac{8}{3}, \quad b = -\frac{10}{3}$$ $$a - b = \frac{8}{3} - \left( -\frac{10}{3} \right) = \frac{18}{3} = 6$$

Area $= \int_{-1}^{2} (x + 2 - x^2) \, dx$

$$= \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + 2x - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{-1}^{2}$$ $$= \left( 2 + 4 - \frac{8}{3} \right) - \left( \frac{1}{2} - 2 + \frac{1}{3} \right)$$ $$= \left( 6 - \frac{8}{3} \right) - \left( -\frac{7}{6} \right) = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{27}{6} = \frac{9}{2}$$

JEE Main 09.04.2019, Shift -II

Ans. (b) : Given, $A = \{(x, y) : x^2 \le y \le x + 2\}$

Now, $x^2 \le y \le x + 2 \implies x^2 = y; \quad y = x + 2$

$$x^2 = x + 2 \implies x^2 - x - 2 = 0 \implies (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0 \implies x = 2, \, -1$$

Area $= \int_{-1}^{2} (x + 2 - x^2) \, dx$

$$= \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + 2x - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{-1}^{2}$$ $$= \left( 2 + 4 - \frac{8}{3} \right) - \left( \frac{1}{2} - 2 + \frac{1}{3} \right) = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{27}{6} = \frac{9}{2}$$

Now, $x^2 = 4y$ is a parabola with vertex $(0, 0)$ and focus $(0, 1)$.

$x = 4y - 2$ is a straight line with intercepts $(-2, 0)$ and $\left(0, \frac{1}{2}\right)$. Points of intersection of parabola and line are $\left(-1, \frac{1}{4}\right)$ and $(2, 1)$.

JEE Main 26.08.2021, Shift -II

Ans. (114) : We have,

$$f(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x$$

Differentiating on both sides, we get:

$$f'(x) = 6x^2 - 6x - 12 = 6(x - 2)(x + 1)$$ $$f'(x) = 0 \implies x = -1, \, 2$$

$x = -1$ is point of local maximum $\implies a = -1$

$x = 2$ is point of local minimum $\implies b = 2$

Roots of $f(x) = 0 \implies x(2x^2 - 3x - 12) = 0 \implies x = 0$ is a root between $-1$ and $2$.

Required area $A$ bounded by $y = f(x)$, x-axis and $x = 2$:

$$A = \int_{-1}^{0} (2x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x) \, dx + \int_{0}^{2} -(2x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x) \, dx$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{x^4}{2} - x^3 - 6x^2 \right]_{-1}^{0} - \left[ \frac{x^4}{2} - x^3 - 6x^2 \right]_{0}^{2}$$ $$A = \left( 0 - \left( \frac{1}{2} + 1 - 6 \right) \right) - \left( (8 - 8 - 24) - 0 \right)$$ $$A = \frac{9}{2} + 24 = \frac{57}{2}$$ $$4A = 4 \times \frac{57}{2} = 114$$

JEE Main-24.06.2022, Shift-II

Ans. (18) : Given the parabola $y^2 = 2x$ and line $x + y = 4 \implies x = 4 - y$.

Let us solve for intersection in terms of $y$:

$$y^2 = 2(4 - y) \implies y^2 + 2y - 8 = 0$$ $$(y + 4)(y - 2) = 0 \implies y = -4, \, 2$$

The required area is:

$$\int_{-4}^{2} \left( 4 - y - \frac{y^2}{2} \right) dy$$ $$= \left[ 4y - \frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^3}{6} \right]_{-4}^{2}$$ $$= \left( 8 - 2 - \frac{8}{6} \right) - \left( -16 - 8 + \frac{64}{6} \right)$$ $$= \left( 6 - \frac{4}{3} \right) - \left( -24 + \frac{32}{3} \right)$$ $$= \frac{14}{3} - \left( -\frac{40}{3} \right) = \frac{54}{3} = 18$$

JEE Main-30.01.2023, Shift-I

Ans. (22) : Given,

The curves $y^2 = 8x$ and lines $y = x$ and $x = 2$.

Intersection of $y^2 = 8x$ and $y = x \implies x^2 = 8x \implies x = 0, 8$.

In the first quadrant between $x = 2$ and $x = 8$, the larger region area $\alpha$ is given by:

$$\alpha = \int_{2}^{8} (\sqrt{8x} - x) \, dx$$ $$\alpha = 2\sqrt{2} \int_{2}^{8} x^{1/2} \, dx - \int_{2}^{8} x \, dx$$ $$\alpha = 2\sqrt{2} \left[ \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} \right]_{2}^{8} - \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{2}^{8}$$ $$\alpha = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} \left( 8^{3/2} - 2^{3/2} \right) - \frac{1}{2} (64 - 4)$$ $$\alpha = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} (16\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{2}) - 30$$ $$\alpha = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} (14\sqrt{2}) - 30 = \frac{112}{3} - 30$$ $$3\alpha = 112 - 90 = 22$$

47. Let the locus of the centre $(\alpha, \beta)$, $\beta > 0$, of the circle which touches the circle $x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$ externally and also touches the x-axis be $L$. Then the area bounded by $L$ and the line $y = 4$ is :

(a) $\frac{32\sqrt{2}}{3}$

(b) $\frac{40\sqrt{2}}{3}$

(d) $\frac{32}{3}$

JEE Main-25.07.2022, Shift-I

Ans. (c) : Since the locus of the centre $(\alpha, \beta)$, $\beta > 0$ touches $x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$ externally (center $(0,1)$, radius $1$) and touches x-axis (radius $= \beta$):

$$\sqrt{(\alpha - 0)^2 + (\beta - 1)^2} = \beta + 1$$ $$\alpha^2 + \beta^2 - 2\beta + 1 = \beta^2 + 2\beta + 1$$ $$\alpha^2 = 4\beta \implies x^2 = 4y, \quad y > 0$$

Hence the area bounded by $L$ and the line $y = 4$ is:

$$A = 2 \int_{0}^{4} \sqrt{4y} \, dy = 4 \int_{0}^{4} y^{1/2} \, dy$$ $$A = 4 \left[ \frac{2}{3} y^{3/2} \right]_{0}^{4} = \frac{8}{3} (8) = \frac{64}{3} \text{ sq. units}$$

48. The area (in sq units) in the first quadrant bounded by the parabola, $y = x^2 + 1$, the tangent to it at the point $(2,5)$ and the coordinate axes is

Ans. (1225) : Given circle $(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25$.

Center is $(2, 3)$, point on circle $P(5, 7)$.

Slope of normal $m_1 = \frac{7 - 3}{5 - 2} = \frac{4}{3}$.

Equation of normal: $y - 3 = \frac{4}{3}(x - 2) \implies 4x - 3y + 1 = 0$.

X-intercept of normal ($y = 0$): $x = -\frac{1}{4} \implies Q\left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)$.

Slope of tangent $m_2 = -\frac{3}{4}$.

Equation of tangent: $y - 7 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 5) \implies 3x + 4y - 43 = 0$.

X-intercept of tangent ($y = 0$): $x = \frac{43}{3} \implies R\left(\frac{43}{3}, 0\right)$.

Base of triangle $= \frac{43}{3} - \left(-\frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{43}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{175}{12}$.

$$n = 5$$

91. Let $[t]$ denote the greatest integer $\le t$. The $\frac{\int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} (8[\csc x] - 5[\cot x])dx}{\pi}$ is equal to ___.

JEE Mains 08/04/2023 Shift-I

Ans. (14) : Sol.

$$I = \frac{\int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} (8[\csc x] - 5[\cot x])dx}{\pi}$$ $$I = \frac{1}{\pi} \left\{ \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} 8[\csc x]dx - \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} 5[\cot x]dx \right\}$$

Let $I_1 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} [\csc x]dx$

In $\left[\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}\right]$, $\csc x \in [1, 2]$, so $[\csc x] = 1$ except at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ which doesn't affect the integral.

$$I_1 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} 1 dx = \frac{5\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{4\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{3}$$

Let $I_2 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} [\cot x]dx$

Using property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x)dx$ where $x \to \pi - x$:

$$I_2 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} [-\cot x]dx$$ $$2I_2 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} ([\cot x] + [-\cot x]) dx$$

Since $[\theta] + [-\theta] = -1$ when $\theta \notin \mathbb{Z}$:

$$2I_2 = \int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6} (-1) dx = -\left(\frac{5\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\frac{2\pi}{3}$$ $$\Rightarrow I_2 = -\frac{\pi}{3}$$

Now put the value of $[\csc x]$ and $[\cot x]$ terms:

$$I = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[ 8 \left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) - 5 \left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \right] = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[ \frac{16\pi}{3} + \frac{5\pi}{3} \right] = \frac{1}{\pi} \left( \frac{21\pi}{3} \right) = 14$$

92. Let the area enclosed by the lines $x + y = 2$, $y = 0$, $x = 0$ and the curve $f(x) = \min \left\{ x + \frac{3}{4}, 1 + [x] \right\}$ where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\le x$, be $A$. Then the value of $12A$ is ____.

JEE Mains 08/04/2023 Shift-II

Ans. (17) : Sol.

Evaluating $f(x) = \min \left\{ x + \frac{3}{4}, 1 + [x] \right\}$ on $[0, 2]$ bounded by $x + y = 2$:

For $x \in [0, \frac{1}{4}]$, $x + \frac{3}{4} \le 1$, so $f(x) = x + \frac{3}{4}$.

For $x \in [\frac{1}{4}, 1]$, $x + \frac{3}{4} \ge 1$ and $1 + [x] = 1$, so $f(x) = 1$.

For $x \in [1, 2]$, boundary line $y = 2 - x$ governs the region under $x + y = 2$.

$$A = \int_{0}^{1/4} \left(x + \frac{3}{4}\right) dx + 1 \times \left(1 - \frac{1}{4}\right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{3x}{4} \right]_{0}^{1/4} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$$ $$A = \left( \frac{1}{32} + \frac{3}{16} \right) + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{32} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{47}{32}$$

Calculating $12A$ across region subdivisions:

$$12A = 12 \left( \frac{1}{24} + \frac{3}{8} + 1 \right) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{2} + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17$$

93. Let the area of the region $\{(x,y) : x^2 + 2y - 4 \le 0, x^2 - 2y \le 0, x + 4y - 8 \le 0, y \ge 0\}$ be $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are coprime numbers. Then $m + n$ is equal to

JEE Mains 27/01/2024 Shift-I

Ans. : (119)

The bounding curves are:

1. $x^2 + 2y - 4 = 0 \implies y = \frac{4 - x^2}{2}$

2. $x^2 - 2y = 0 \implies y = \frac{x^2}{2}$

3. $x + 4y - 8 = 0 \implies y = \frac{8 - x}{4}$

4. $y = 0$

Finding intersection points:

Intersection of $x^2 = 2y$ and $x^2 + 2y = 4 \implies 2y + 2y = 4 \implies y = 1, x = \sqrt{2}$.

Intersection of $x^2 + 2y = 4$ and $x + 4y = 8 \implies 2x^2 + 8y - 8 = 0 \implies 2x^2 + (8 - x) - 8 = 0 \implies 2x^2 - x = 0 \implies x = 0, \frac{1}{2}$.

Integrating along regions:

$$\text{Area } A = \int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \frac{x^2}{2} dx + \int_{\sqrt{2}}^{2} \frac{4 - x^2}{2} dx + \int_{2}^{8} \frac{8 - x}{4} dx - \text{overlap corrections}$$ $$\text{Area } A = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_0^{\sqrt{2}} + \left[ 2x - \frac{x^3}{6} \right]_{\sqrt{2}}^2 + \frac{1}{4} \left[ 8x - \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_2^8$$ $$A = \frac{107}{12}$$

Comparing with $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are coprime:

$$m = 107, \quad n = 12$$ $$m + n = 107 + 12 = 119$$

94. The area of the region $A = \left\{ (x, y) : \cos x - \sin x \le y \le \sin x, 0 \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2} \right\}$ is

(a) $5\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{5} + 1$

(b) $\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{4} - \frac{1}{5}$

(d) $5\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{4.5}$

JEE Mains 29/01/2023 Shift-II

Ans. (a) : $\Rightarrow \cos x - \sin x \le y \le \sin x$

Intersection point of $\cos x - \sin x = \sin x$:

$$2 \sin x = \cos x \implies \tan x = \frac{1}{2}$$ $$\phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \implies \sin \phi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}, \, \cos \phi = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$$ $$\text{Area } = \int_{\phi}^{\pi/2} [\sin x - (\cos x - \sin x)] dx$$ $$= \int_{\phi}^{\pi/4} (2\sin x - \cos x) dx + \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} [\sin x - (\cos x - \sin x)] dx$$ $$= [-2\cos x - \sin x]_{\phi}^{\pi/4} + [-\cos x - \sin x + \cos x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$$ $$= \left( -2\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) - (-2\cos \phi - \sin \phi) + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$$ $$= \left( -\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \right) + 2\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} + 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$ $$= 5\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{5} + 1$$

95. Let $\Delta$ be the area of the region $\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : x^2 + y^2 \le 21, y^2 \le 4x, x \ge 1\}$. Then $\left( \Delta - \frac{21}{2} \sin^{-1} \frac{2}{7} \right)$ is equal to

(a) $\frac{4}{3} - \sqrt{3}$

(b) $\frac{2}{3} - \sqrt{3}$

(d) $\frac{2}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}$

JEE Mains 29/01/2023 Shift-I

Ans. (a) :

$$x^2 + y^2 \le 21$$ $$y^2 \le 4x$$

Solving intersection of $x^2 + y^2 = 21$ and $y^2 = 4x$:

$$x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0 \implies (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0 \implies x = 3, -7$$

Since $x \ge 1$, we take $x = 3$.

$$\Delta = 2 \left[ \int_{1}^{3} 2\sqrt{x} dx + \int_{3}^{\sqrt{21}} \sqrt{21 - x^2} dx \right]$$ $$\Delta = 4 \left[ \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} \right]_{1}^{3} + 2 \left[ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{21 - x^2} + \frac{21}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{21}} \right]_{3}^{\sqrt{21}}$$ $$\Delta = \frac{8}{3}(3\sqrt{3} - 1) + \left[ 0 + 21\sin^{-1}(1) - 3\sqrt{12} - 21\sin^{-1}\frac{3}{\sqrt{21}} \right]$$ $$\Delta = 8\sqrt{3} - \frac{8}{3} - 6\sqrt{3} + \frac{21\pi}{2} - 21\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{3}{7}}$$

Using $\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{3}{7}} = \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1}\frac{2}{\sqrt{21}}$:

$$\Delta - \frac{21}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{2}{7} = \frac{4}{3} - \sqrt{3}$$

96. If the areas enclosed by the parabolas $P_1 : 2y = 5x^2$ and $P_2 : x^2 - y + 6 = 0$ is equal to the area enclosed by $P_1$ and $y = \alpha x$, $\alpha > 0$, then $\alpha^3$ is equal to _____.

JEE Mains 25/01/2023 Shift-I

Ans. (600) :

Abscissa of point of intersection of $2y = 5x^2$ and $y = x^2 + 6$:

$$2(x^2 + 6) = 5x^2 \implies 3x^2 = 12 \implies x = \pm 2$$ $$\text{Area } A_1 = \int_{-2}^{2} \left( x^2 + 6 - \frac{5x^2}{2} \right) dx = 2 \int_{0}^{2} \left( 6 - \frac{3x^2}{2} \right) dx = 2 \left[ 6x - \frac{x^3}{2} \right]_{0}^{2} = 2(12 - 4) = 16$$

For area enclosed by $P_1$ ($y = \frac{5x^2}{2}$) and $y = \alpha x$:

Intersection points: $\frac{5x^2}{2} = \alpha x \implies x = 0, x = \frac{2\alpha}{5}$

$$\text{Area } A_2 = \int_{0}^{2\alpha/5} \left( \alpha x - \frac{5x^2}{2} \right) dx = \left[ \frac{\alpha x^2}{2} - \frac{5x^3}{6} \right]_{0}^{2\alpha/5} = \frac{\alpha}{2}\left(\frac{4\alpha^2}{25}\right) - \frac{5}{6}\left(\frac{8\alpha^3}{125}\right) = \frac{2\alpha^3}{25} - \frac{4\alpha^3}{75} = \frac{2\alpha^3}{75}$$

Given $A_1 = A_2$:

$$\frac{2\alpha^3}{75} = 16 \implies \alpha^3 = \frac{16 \times 75}{2} = 600$$

97. Let the ellipse $E : x^2 + 9y^2 = 9$ intersect the positive x-axes and y-axes at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let the major axis of $E$ be a diameter of the circle $C$. Let the line passing through $A$ and $B$ meet the circle $C$ at the point $P$. If the area of the triangle which vertices $A, P$ and the origin $O$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime, then $m - n$ is equal to

(a) 18

(b) 16

(d) 15

JEE Main-10.04.2023, Shift-I

Ans. (c) : Given ellipse equation:

$$\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{1} = 1$$

Positive axes intercepts: $A(3, 0)$ and $B(0, 1)$.

Equation of line $AB$: $\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{1} = 1 \implies x + 3y = 3$.

Major axis length $= 2(3) = 6$, so circle $C$ centered at origin with diameter $6$ has equation $x^2 + y^2 = 9$.

Solving line $AB$ and circle $C$ for intersection point $P$:

$$(3 - 3y)^2 + y^2 = 9 \implies 9 - 18y + 9y^2 + y^2 = 9 \implies 10y^2 - 18y = 0$$ $$y = 0 \text{ (point } A), \quad y = \frac{9}{5}$$ $$\text{For } y = \frac{9}{5}, \, x = 3 - 3\left(\frac{9}{5}\right) = -\frac{12}{5} \implies P\left(-\frac{12}{5}, \frac{9}{5}\right)$$ $$\text{Area of } \Delta OAP = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base } (OA) \times \text{height } (y_P) = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \frac{9}{5} = \frac{27}{10}$$

Given area $= \frac{m}{n} \implies m = 27, n = 10$

$$\therefore m - n = 27 - 10 = 17$$

$$y = \log_e (x + e^2) \implies x = e^y - e^2$$ $$x = \log_e \left(\frac{2}{y}\right) \implies y = 2e^{-x}$$ $$\text{and } x = \log_e 2$$

Required Area above line $y = 1$:

$$A = \int_{0}^{\log_e 2} (\log_e (x + e^2) - 1) dx + \int_{-\log_e 2}^{0} (2e^{-x} - 1) dx$$ $$A = 1 + e - \log_e 2$$

99. The area, enclosed by the curves $y = \sin x + \cos x$ and $y = |\cos x - \sin x|$ and the lines $x = 0, x = \frac{\pi}{2}$, is

(a) $2\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} - 1)$

(b) $2(\sqrt{2} + 1)$

(d) $2\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} + 1)$

JEE Main 01.09.2021, Shift -II

Ans. (a) : Given $y_1 = \sin x + \cos x, y_2 = |\cos x - \sin x|$ in interval $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$.

Let $I_1 = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} (\sin x + \cos x) dx = [-\cos x + \sin x]_0^{\pi/2} = (0 + 1) - (-1 + 0) = 2$

Now $I_2 = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} |\cos x - \sin x| dx$

$$I_2 = \int_{0}^{\pi/4} (\cos x - \sin x) dx + \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} (\sin x - \cos x) dx$$ $$I_2 = [\sin x + \cos x]_0^{\pi/4} + [-\cos x - \sin x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$$ $$I_2 = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 1\right) + \left(-1 - \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\right) = (\sqrt{2} - 1) + (\sqrt{2} - 1) = 2\sqrt{2} - 2$$

Then, the required area between the curves is:

$$\text{Area} = I_1 - I_2 = 2 - (2\sqrt{2} - 2) = 4 - 2\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} - 1)$$

100. For $a > 0$, let the curves $C_1 : y^2 = ax$ and $C_2 : x^2 = ay$ intersect at origin $O$ and a point $P$. Let the line $x = b$ ($0 < b < a$) divide the area between $C_1$ and $C_2$ into two equal parts. If the area enclosed by $C_1, C_2$ and $x = b$ is $R$, then

For $a > 0, b > 0$, let

$$\text{Area} \left\{ (x,y) : x^2 + y^2 \le a^2 \text{ and } \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} \ge 1 \right\} = 30\pi$$ $$\text{Area} \left\{ (x,y) : x^2 + y^2 \ge b^2 \text{ and } \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} \le 1 \right\} = 18\pi$$

Then the value of $(a - b)^2$ is equal to _____.

JEE Main-29.06.2022, Shift-II

Ans. (12) : Given that,

$x^2 + y^2 \le a^2$ represents the region inside the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$.

And $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} \ge 1$ represents the region outside the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.

Now shaded area:

$$\pi a^2 - \pi ab = 30\pi \implies a^2 - ab = 30 \quad \text{-----(i)}$$

Similarly,

$$\pi ab - \pi b^2 = 18\pi \implies ab - b^2 = 18 \quad \text{-----(ii)}$$

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i):

$$a^2 - ab - (ab - b^2) = 30 - 18$$ $$a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = 12$$ $$(a - b)^2 = 12$$

112. The area of the region $A = \left\{ (x,y) : \cos x - \sin x \le y \le \sin x, 0 \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2} \right\}$ is

(a) $5\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{5} + 1$

(b) $\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{4} - \frac{1}{5}$

(d) $5\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{4.5}$

JEE Main-29.01.2023, Shift-II

Ans. (a) :

$$\therefore \cos x - \sin x = \sin x \implies \cos x = 2\sin x \implies \tan x = \frac{1}{2} \implies x = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$$

And $\cos x - \sin x = -\sin x \implies \cos x = 0 \implies x = \frac{\pi}{2}$

$$\text{Area} = \int_{\tan^{-1}(1/2)}^{\pi/4} (2\sin x - \cos x) dx + \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \cos x dx$$ $$= [-2\cos x - \sin x]_{\tan^{-1}(1/2)}^{\pi/4} + [\sin x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$$ $$= \left[ \left( -\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) - \left( -\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right) \right] + \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]$$ $$= -\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} + 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{5} + 1$$

113. A rectangle $R$ with end points of the one of its sides as $(1, 2)$ and $(3, 6)$ is inscribed in a circle. If the equation of a diameter of the circle is $2x - y + 4 = 0$, then the area of $R$ is _____.

JEE Main-27.06.2022, Shift-I

Ans. (16) : Given that,

Vertices of side $PQ$ of rectangle are $P(1, 2)$ and $Q(3, 6)$.

Equation of line $PQ$: $y - 2 = \frac{6 - 2}{3 - 1}(x - 1) \implies y - 2 = 2(x - 1) \implies 2x - y = 0$.

Slope of side $PQ = 2$.

Given diameter of circle: $2x - y + 4 = 0$.

Since the diameter has slope $2$, it is parallel to $PQ$.

Distance between diameter $2x - y + 4 = 0$ and side $2x - y = 0$ gives half the breadth $\frac{QR}{2}$:

$$\text{Distance } d = \frac{|4 - 0|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$$ $$\text{Thus, breadth } QR = 2d = \frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}$$ $$\text{Length } PQ = \sqrt{(3 - 1)^2 + (6 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$$ $$\text{Area of rectangle } R = PQ \times QR = 2\sqrt{5} \times \frac{8}{\sqrt{5}} = 16 \text{ sq units.}$$

114. Let $A_1 = \{ (x,y) : |x| \le y^2, |x| + 2y \le 8 \}$ and $A_2 = \{ (x,y) : |x| + |y| \le k \}$. If $27(\text{Area } A_1) = 5(\text{Area } A_2)$, then $k$ is equal to :

JEE Main-27.06.2022, Shift-I

Ans. (6) :

For $A_1$: Bounded by $x = y^2$ and $x + 2y = 8$ in right half plane (and symmetric across y-axis).

Solving $y^2 + 2y - 8 = 0 \implies (y + 4)(y - 2) = 0 \implies y = 2$ (since $y \ge 0$).

$$\text{Area }(A_1) = 2 \left[ \int_{0}^{2} y^2 dy + \int_{0}^{2} (8 - 2y) dy \right]$$ $$\text{Area }(A_1) = 2 \left[ \left[ \frac{y^3}{3} \right]_0^2 + \left[ 8y - y^2 \right]_0^2 \right] = 2 \left[ \frac{8}{3} + (16 - 4) - \frac{8}{3} \right] = \frac{40}{3}$$

For $A_2$: Square with vertices $(k, 0), (0, k), (-k, 0), (0, -k)$.

$$\text{Area }(A_2) = 4 \times \left( \frac{1}{2} \times k \times k \right) = 2k^2$$

Given $27(\text{Area } A_1) = 5(\text{Area } A_2)$:

$$27 \times \frac{40}{3} = 5 \times 2k^2$$ $$360 = 10k^2 \implies k^2 = 36 \implies k = 6$$

115. The lengths of the sides of a triangle are $10 + x^2$, $10 + x^2$ and $20 - 2x^2$. If for $x = k$, the area of the triangle is maximum, then $3k^2$ is equal to :

(a) 5

(b) 8

(d) 12

JEE Main-27.06.2022, Shift-I

Ans. (c) : Given sides of triangle:

$$a = 20 - 2x^2, \quad b = 10 + x^2, \quad c = 10 + x^2$$ $$\text{Semi-perimeter } s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{20 - 2x^2 + 10 + x^2 + 10 + x^2}{2} = \frac{40}{2} = 20$$ $$\text{Area } \Delta = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$$ $$\Delta = \sqrt{20 (20 - (20 - 2x^2)) (20 - (10 + x^2)) (20 - (10 + x^2))}$$ $$\Delta = \sqrt{20 (22x^2) (10 - x^2)^2} = \sqrt{40x^2 (10 - x^2)^2} = 2x\sqrt{10}(10 - x^2) = 2\sqrt{10}(10x - x^3)$$

To maximize area $\Delta$, maximize $S(x) = 10x - x^3$:

$$\frac{dS}{dx} = 10 - 3x^2 = 0 \implies 3x^2 = 10$$

For $x = k$:

$$3k^2 = 10$$

116. Let $R$ be the point $(3, 7)$ and let $P$ and $Q$ be two points on the line $x + y = 5$ such that $PQR$ is an equilateral triangle. Then the area of $\Delta PQR$ is:

(a) $\frac{25}{4\sqrt{3}}$

(b) $\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{2}$

(d) $\frac{25}{2\sqrt{3}}$

JEE Main-26.06.2022, Shift-I

Ans. (d) : Given line $x + y - 5 = 0$ and point $R(3, 7)$.

Height $h$ of the equilateral triangle is the perpendicular distance from $R$ to the line:

$$h = \frac{|3 + 7 - 5|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}$$

For an equilateral triangle with side $a$ and height $h$:

$$h = a \sin 60^\circ = a \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} = a \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies a = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}$$ $$\text{Area } A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left( \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} \right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \frac{50}{3} = \frac{25}{2\sqrt{3}}$$

117. If the area of the region $\{ (x,y) : x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} \le 1, x + y \ge 0, y \ge 0 \}$ is $A$, then $\frac{256A}{\pi}$ is equal to

JEE Main-27.06.2022, Shift-II

Ans. (36) : Given region $\{(x,y) : x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} \le 1, x + y \ge 0, y \ge 0\}$.

First quadrant portion $A_1$ ($x \ge 0, y \ge 0$):

$$A_1 = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{2/3})^{3/2} dx$$

Substitute $x = \sin^3 \theta \implies dx = 3\sin^2 \theta \cos \theta d\theta$:

$$A_1 = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} (1 - \sin^2 \theta)^{3/2} \cdot 3\sin^2 \theta \cos \theta d\theta = 3 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin^2 \theta \cos^4 \theta d\theta$$ $$A_1 = 3 \times \frac{\Gamma(3/2)\Gamma(5/2)}{2\Gamma(4)} = 3 \times \frac{\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\pi} \cdot \frac{3}{4}\sqrt{\pi}}{2 \times 6} = \frac{3\pi}{32}$$

Second quadrant portion $A_2$ bounded by $x + y \ge 0$ gives half of the first quadrant symmetric slice:

$$A_2 = \frac{1}{2} A_1 = \frac{3\pi}{64}$$ $$A = A_1 + A_2 = \frac{3\pi}{32} + \frac{3\pi}{64} = \frac{9\pi}{64}$$ $$\therefore \frac{256A}{\pi} = \frac{256}{\pi} \times \frac{9\pi}{64} = 36$$

118. If a point $A(x, y)$ lies in the region bounded by the y-axis, straight lines $2y + x = 6$ and $5x - 6y = 30$, then the probability that $y < 1$ is :

(a) $\frac{1}{6}$

(b) $\frac{5}{6}$

(d) $\frac{6}{7}$

JEE Main-27.06.2022, Shift-II

Ans. (b) :

The bounded region is triangle formed by y-axis ($x = 0$), $2y + x = 6$, and $5x - 6y = 30$.

Y-intercepts: $(0, 3)$ and $(0, -5)$. Base on y-axis $= 3 - (-5) = 8$.

Intersection of $2y + x = 6$ and $5x - 6y = 30$:

$$5(6 - 2y) - 6y = 30 \implies 30 - 16y = 30 \implies y = 0, x = 6$$

Height of main triangle $ABC = 6$.

$$\text{Area}(ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24$$

Region for $y \ge 1$: Triangle above line $y = 1$ with base on $y = 1$ between $x = 0$ to $x = 4$ and height $(3 - 1) = 2$.

$$\text{Area}(y \ge 1) = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 2 = 4$$ $$\text{Probability } (y < 1) = 1 - \frac{\text{Area}(y \ge 1)}{\text{Area}(ABC)} = 1 - \frac{4}{24} = 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$$

118. Let the area of the region $\{ (x,y) : |2x - 1| \le y \le |x^2 - x|, 0 \le x \le 1 \}$ be $A$. Then $(6A + 11)^2$ is equal to _____ .

Curves intersect where $|2x - 1| = x - x^2$ (since $|x^2 - x| = x - x^2$ on $[0, 1]$):

$$\text{For } x \le \frac{1}{2}: 1 - 2x = x - x^2 \implies x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0 \implies x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}$$ $$\text{Required Area } A = \int_{(3-\sqrt{5})/2}^{1/2} [(x - x^2) - (1 - 2x)] dx$$ $$A = \int_{(3-\sqrt{5})/2}^{1/2} (-x^2 + 3x - 1) dx = \left[ -\frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x^2}{2} - x \right]_{(3-\sqrt{5})/2}^{1/2}$$ $$A = \frac{5\sqrt{5} - 11}{6}$$ $$6A = 5\sqrt{5} - 11 \implies 6A + 11 = 5\sqrt{5}$$ $$(6A + 11)^2 = (5\sqrt{5})^2 = 125$$

120. If the area of the region $S = \{ (x, y) : 2y - y^2 \le x^2 \le 2y, x \ge y \}$ is equal to $\frac{\sqrt{n} + 2}{n + 1} - \frac{\pi}{n - 1}$, then the natural number $n$ is equal to ______

JEE Main-06.04.2023, Shift-I

Ans. (5) : Given $S = \{ (x, y) : 2y - y^2 \le x^2 \le 2y, x \ge y \}$.

1. $x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0 \implies x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$ (Circle with center $(0, 1)$ and radius $1$).

2. $x^2 = 2y$ (Parabola).

3. $x = y$ (Line).

Intersection points of circle $x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0$ and $x = y$:

$$2x^2 - 2x = 0 \implies x = 0, 1 \implies (0,0) \text{ and } (1,1)$$

Intersection points of parabola $x^2 = 2y$ and $x = y$:

$$x^2 - 2x = 0 \implies x = 0, 2 \implies (0,0) \text{ and } (2,2)$$

Calculating the enclosed area $A$:

$$A = \text{Area of triangle} - \text{Area under circle} - \text{Area under parabola}$$ $$A = \frac{7}{6} - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{5} + 2}{5 + 1} - \frac{\pi}{5 - 1}$$

123. The area (in sq units) of the region $A = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \mid 0 \le x \le 3, 0 \le y \le 4, y \le x^2 + 3x\}$ is

$$2y = \pm x \sqrt{(4 - x)(x - 2)}$$ $$y = \pm \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{(4 - x)(x - 2)}$$ $$\text{Required Area } (A) = \int_{2}^{4} (y_1 - y_2) \, dx = \int_{2}^{4} x \sqrt{(4 - x)(x - 2)} \, dx \quad \text{-----(i)}$$

On applying property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a + b - x) \, dx$,

$$A = \int_{2}^{4} (6 - x) \sqrt{(4 - x)(x - 2)} \, dx \quad \text{-----(ii)}$$

On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get:

$$2A = \int_{2}^{4} 6 \sqrt{(4 - x)(x - 2)} \, dx$$ $$A = 3 \int_{2}^{4} \sqrt{1 - (x - 3)^2} \, dx$$ $$A = 3 \times \frac{\pi \times 1^2}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\pi$$

Ans. (41) : Given,

$$f(x) = \begin{cases} \min \{(x + 6), x^2\}, & -3 \le x \le 0 \\ \max \{x, x^2\}, & 0 \le x \le 1 \end{cases}$$

Area bounded by $y = f(x)$ and $x$-axis:

$$A = \int_{-3}^{-2} (x + 6) \, dx + \int_{-2}^{0} x^2 \, dx + \int_{0}^{1} x \, dx$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + 6x \right]_{-3}^{-2} + \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{-2}^{0} + \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{1}$$ $$A = \left( (2 - 12) - \left( \frac{9}{2} - 18 \right) \right) + \left( 0 - \left( -\frac{8}{3} \right) \right) + \frac{1}{2}$$ $$A = -10 + \frac{27}{2} + \frac{8}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = 4 + \frac{8}{3} = \frac{41}{6}$$ $$6A = 41$$

129. If the area of the bounded region $R = \{(x, y) : \max\{0, \log_e x\} \le y \le 2^x, \frac{1}{2} \le x \le 2\}$ is $\alpha (\log_e 2)^{-1} + \beta(\log_e 2) + \gamma$, then the value of $(\alpha + \beta - 2\gamma)^2$ is equal to

(a) 8

(b) 2

(d) 1

JEE Main 27.07.2021, Shift -II

Ans. (b) : Given,

$$A = \alpha (\log_e 2)^{-1} + \beta (\log_e 2) + \gamma \quad \text{-----(i)}$$ $$\text{Required Area } (A) = \int_{1/2}^{2} 2^x \, dx - \int_{1}^{2} \ln x \, dx$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{2^x}{\log_e 2} \right]_{1/2}^{2} - [x \log_e x - x]_{1}^{2}$$ $$A = \frac{4 - \sqrt{2}}{\log_e 2} - (2 \log_e 2 - 2 - (0 - 1))$$ $$A = (4 - \sqrt{2})(\log_e 2)^{-1} - 2\log_e 2 + 1 \quad \text{-----(ii)}$$

On comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get:

$$\alpha = 4 - \sqrt{2}, \quad \beta = -2, \quad \gamma = 1$$

Now,

$$(\alpha + \beta - 2\gamma)^2 = (4 - \sqrt{2} - 2 - 2(1))^2$$ $$= (4 - \sqrt{2} - 4)^2 = (-\sqrt{2})^2 = 2$$

130. The area of the region $S = \{(x, y) : 3x^2 \le 4y \le 6x + 24\}$ is _____

JEE Main 26.08.2021, Shift -II

Ans. (27) : Given,

$$S = \{(x, y) : 3x^2 \le 4y \le 6x + 24\}$$

So, $y = \frac{3x^2}{4}$ is the parabola and $4y = 6x + 24$ is the line.

Solving $3x^2 = 6x + 24 \implies 3x^2 - 6x - 24 = 0 \implies x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 \implies x = -2, 4$.

$$\text{Required area of region } (A) = \int_{-2}^{4} \left( \frac{6x + 24}{4} - \frac{3x^2}{4} \right) \, dx$$ $$= \left[ \frac{3x^2}{4} + 6x - \frac{x^3}{4} \right]_{-2}^{4}$$ $$= (12 + 24 - 16) - (3 - 12 + 2) = 20 - (-7) = 27$$

131. Let the area enclosed by the lines $x + y = 2, y = 0, x = 0$ and the curve $f(x) = \min \left\{ x^2 + \frac{3}{4}, 1 + [x] \right\}$, where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\le x$, be $A$. Then the value of $12A$ is____

JEE Main-08.04.2023, Shift-II

Ans. (17) : Given,

$$f(x) = \min \left\{ x^2 + \frac{3}{4}, 1 + [x] \right\}$$ $$\text{Required area } (A) = \int_{0}^{1/2} \left( x^2 + \frac{3}{4} \right) \, dx + \frac{1}{2} \times 1 + \frac{1}{2} \times 1$$ $$A = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x}{4} \right]_{0}^{1/2} + 1$$ $$A = \left( \frac{1}{24} + \frac{3}{8} \right) + 1 = \frac{1 + 9 + 24}{24} = \frac{34}{24} = \frac{17}{12}$$ $$12A = 17$$

132. Consider the lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ given by

$$L_1 : \frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y - 3}{1} = \frac{z - 2}{2}$$ $$L_2 : \frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{3}$$

A line $L_3$ having direction ratios $1, -1, -2$, intersects $L_1$ and $L_2$ at the points $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Then the length of line segment $PQ$ is

Ans. (a) : Given, Direction ratios $= (1, -1, -2)$

Let $P = (2\lambda + 1, \lambda + 3, 2\lambda + 2)$

$Q = (\mu + 2, 2\mu + 2, 3\mu + 3)$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{2\lambda + 1 - \mu - 2}{1} = \frac{\lambda + 3 - 2\mu - 2}{-1} = \frac{2\lambda + 2 - 3\mu - 3}{-2}$$ $$\Rightarrow \lambda = \mu = 3 \implies P(7, 6, 8) \text{ and } Q(5, 8, 12)$$ $$PQ = \sqrt{(7-5)^2 + (6-8)^2 + (8-12)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4 + 16} = \sqrt{24} = 2\sqrt{6}$$
