Area under the curveHard

Question

The area of the region, inside the ellipse $x^{2} + 4y^{2} = 4$ and outside the region bounded by the curves $y = |x| - 1$ and $y = 1 - |x|$, is :

Options

A.$2(\pi - 1)$
B.$2\pi - \frac{1}{2}$
C.$3(\pi - 1)$
D.$2\pi - 1$

Solution

Required area $=$ area of ellipse - shaded area

$$= \pi \times 2 \times 1 - 4\left( \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 \right) = 2\pi - 2$$
