JEE Mathematics 2023 Question with Solution

Let A = {(xx, yy) ∈ R2R^2 : y0y \ge 0, 2xyπ/4(x1)22x \le y \le \pi/4 - (x - 1)^2)} B = {(xx, yy) ∈ R2R^2 : 0ymin{2x,π/4(x1)2}0 \le y \le \min\{2x, \pi/4 - (x - 1)^2\})}. Then the ratio of the area of A to the area of B is:

  • A

    (π1)/(π+1)(\pi-1)/(\pi+1)

  • B

    π/(π1)\pi/(\pi-1)

  • C

    π/(π+1)\pi/(\pi+1)

  • D

    (π+1)/(π1)(\pi+1)/(\pi-1)

Answer

Correct answer:C

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: The regions are

A={(x,y)R2:y0,  2xyπ/4(x1)2}A = \{(x,y) \in R^2 : y \ge 0,\; 2x \le y \le \pi/4 - (x-1)^2\}

and

B={(x,y)R2:0ymin{2x,  π/4(x1)2}}B = \{(x,y) \in R^2 : 0 \le y \le \min\{2x,\; \pi/4 - (x-1)^2\}\}

Find: The ratio of area of A to area of B.

From the solution, the conclusion stated is

AB=π1π+1\frac{A}{B} = \frac{\pi - 1}{\pi + 1}

but it also explicitly says the correct option is C. Since option C is π/(π+1)\pi/(\pi+1), there is a discrepancy between the written final expression and the marked option.

Following the solution-page authority rule, the answer is taken from the solution's declared correct option. Therefore, the correct option is C.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the printed ratio π1π+1\frac{\pi-1}{\pi+1} as automatically final without noticing that the solution explicitly marks option C. When source material is inconsistent, the stated correct option and the working must be cross-checked.

  • Confusing the sets A and B because B uses min{2x,  π/4(x1)2}\min\{2x,\; \pi/4-(x-1)^2\}. This changes the upper boundary piecewise, so the regions should not be interpreted casually from only one inequality.

  • Ignoring the geometry of the intersection of the line and parabola-like boundary expression. The area ratio depends on the actual enclosed regions, so one must first identify which curve lies above the other on the relevant interval.
