CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/5/2 · Question 34 (Applications Of Integrals)

Sketch 9x²+16y²=144 and use integration to find its enclosed area.
Ellipse centered at the origin with horizontal semiaxis 4 and vertical semiaxis 3.
Ellipse centered at the origin with horizontal semiaxis 4 and vertical semiaxis 3.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 12π square units.
  1. The ellipse x²/16+y²/9=1 has horizontal and vertical semiaxes 4 and 3.
  2. Use the upper branch y=(3/4)√(16−x²). By symmetry multiply its integral from 0 to 4 by four.
  3. The quarter-circle integral of √(16−x²) is 4π, so the area is 12π.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [1 mark] The ellipse x²/16+y²/9=1 has horizontal and vertical semiaxes 4 and 3.
  • [3 marks] Use the upper branch y=(3/4)√(16−x²). By symmetry multiply its integral from 0 to 4 by four.
  • [1 mark] The quarter-circle integral of √(16−x²) is 4π, so the area is 12π.
