Correct Answer :

Option B

1/5

Solution :

The correct option is 1/5.

Let us evaluate the double integral step-by-step.

First, we identify the region of integration, A.
The region is bounded by:
1. The parabola x2=4y, which can be written as y=x24.
2. The vertical line (ordinate) x=2.
3. The x-axis, which is the line y=0.

From these boundaries, we determine the limits of integration for the double integral:
For a given x in the interval [0,2], the variable y varies from the x-axis (y=0) up to the curve (y=x24).

Thus, we set up the double integral as follows:

A y d x d y = 0 2 [ 0 x24 y d y ] d x

Now, we perform the inner integration with respect to y:

0 x24 y d y = [ y22 ] 0 x24

Substituting the upper and lower limits:

= 12 ( x24 ) 2 - 0 = 12 · x416 = x432

Now, substitute this result back into the outer integral and integrate with respect to x from 0 to 2:

0 2 x432 d x = 132 [ x55 ] 0 2

Evaluating this at the limits:

= 132 ( 255 - 0 )

Since 25=32, we have:

= 132 · 325 = 15

Thus, the value of the double integral is indeed 1/5.
