If the curve `y=ax^(1//2)+bx` passes through the point (1,2) and lies above the x-axis for `0lexle9` and the area enclosed by the curve, the x-axis, and the line x=4 is 8 sq. units. ThenA. `a=1`B. `b=1`C. `a=3`D. `b=-1`

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D
Since the curve `y=ax^(1//2)+bx` passes through the point (1,2)
`therefore" "2=a+b" (1)"`
By observation the curve also passes through (0,0). Therefore, the area enclosed by the curve, x-axis and x=4 is given by
`A=overset(4)underset(0)int(ax^(1//2)+bx)dx=8 or (2a)/(3)xx8+(b)/(2)xx16=8`
`or (2a)/(3)+b=1." (2)"`
Solving (1) and (2), we get a =3, b=-1.
