As we learnt

Area along y axis -

Let y_{1}= f_{1}(x)\, and \, y_{2}= f_{2}(x) be two curve, then area bounded by the curves and the lines

y = a and y = b is

A=\int_{a}^{b}\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )dy

- wherein

 

 

Required area=\int_{-4}^{1}xdy

                        =\int_{-4}^{1}\left ( 4-3y-y^{2} \right )dy=20\frac{5}{6}\, sq.units


Option 1)

20 sq. units      

Option 2)

18 sq. units

Option 3)

17 sq. units

Option 4)

none of these
