Q.

The area (in square units) of the region enclosed by the ellipse x2+3y2=18 in the first quadrant below the line y=x is                [2024]

1 3π  
2 3π+34  
3 3π-34  
4 3π+1  

Ans.

We have, x2+3y2=18

x218+y26=1

x2(32)2+y2(6)2=1

 For point of intersection of ellipse and line y=x, we have, x2+3x2=18

x2=184x2=92x=±32

Required area =03/2xdx+3/23218-x23dx

=[x22]03/2+13[x218-x2+9sin-1x32]3/232

=94+13[9sin-1(1)-322·332-9sin-1(12)]

=94+13[9π2-934-9π6]=133π=3π
