JEE Mathematics 2023 Question with Solution

Given: The curve is $y = 2x^2 + 1$. The tangent is taken at $P(1,3)$, and the line is $x+y=1$.

Find: The value of $60A$, where $A$ is the enclosed area in the first quadrant.

From the solution, the tangent at $P(1,3)$ is

$$y = 4x - 1$$

The integral of the curve from $x=0$ to $x=1$ is

$$\int_0^1 (2x^2 + 1) \, dx = \left[ \frac{2x^3}{3} + x \right]_0^1 = \frac{5}{3}$$

The area of triangle $\triangle QOT$ is

$$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{2}$$

The area of triangle $\triangle PQR$ with vertices $P(1,3), Q(1,0), R\left(\frac{1}{4},0\right)$ is

$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}\left|1(0-0)+1(0-3)+\frac{1}{4}(3-0)\right| = \frac{9}{8}$$

For triangle $\triangle QRS$, the working computes

$$\text{Area} = \frac{39}{40}$$

but in the final combination it uses $\frac{9}{40}$, and that value is consistent with the stated final answer.

So the area is combined as

$$A = \frac{5}{3} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{9}{8} + \frac{9}{40}$$ $$A = \frac{200 - 60 - 135 + 27}{120} = \frac{32}{120} = \frac{16}{60}$$

Therefore,

$$60A = 16$$

So the required numerical value is $16$.

Given: $y=2x^2+1$, tangent at $(1,3)$ is $y=4x-1$, and the line is $x+y=1$.

Find: The enclosed area in the first quadrant and then compute $60A$.

The solution decomposes the shaded region into the area under the curve from $x=0$ to $x=1$, then subtracts and adds triangular regions.

1. Area under the curve:

$$\int_0^1 (2x^2+1)\,dx = \left[\frac{2x^3}{3}+x\right]_0^1 = \frac{5}{3}$$

2. Subtract triangle $\triangle QOT$:

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

3. Subtract triangle $\triangle PQR$:

$$\frac{9}{8}$$

4. Add the correction triangle used in the final expression:

$$\frac{9}{40}$$

Hence,

$$\begin{aligned} A &= \frac{5}{3} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{9}{8} + \frac{9}{40} \\ &= \frac{200}{120} - \frac{60}{120} - \frac{135}{120} + \frac{27}{120} \\ &= \frac{32}{120} = \frac{16}{60} \end{aligned}$$

Therefore,

$$60A=16$$

The correct numerical answer is $16$.
