Answer: A 
Solution: 
Consider the curves 
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
and 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? :

Step 1. Find the Intersection Points 
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute 
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
into 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Let 
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
. 
Then 
?? 2
= ?? 4
 
and 
?? = ?? + 2. 
Substitute into the second curve: 
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) . 
Simplify the right side: 
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? . 
Thus, the equation becomes 
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) . 
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? : 
?? ( ?? 3

Thus, either 
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8. 
For ?? = 0 :

Answer: A 
Solution: 
Consider the curves 
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
and 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? : 
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points 
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute 
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
into 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Let 
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
. 
Then 
?? 2
= ?? 4
 
and 
?? = ?? + 2. 
Substitute into the second curve: 
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) . 
Simplify the right side: 
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? . 
Thus, the equation becomes 
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) . 
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? : 
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0. 
Thus, either 
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8. 
For ?? = 0 : 
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0. 
For ?? 3
= - 8 : 
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4. 
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) . 
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ?? 
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? . 
From the second curve: 
?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
From the first curve, solving 
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
for ?? gives 
?? - 2 = ± v ?? . 
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch: 
?? = 2 - v ?? . 
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is 
?? left 
= 2 - v ?? , 
and the right boundary is 
?? right 
= 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area 
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is 
? ?? = ?? right 
- ?? left 
= ( 2 -
?? 2
8
) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -
?? 2
8
. 
Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 : 
?? = ?
0
4
? ( v ?? -
?? 2

) ???? . 
Step 4. Evaluate the Integral 
Write the integral as 
?? = ?

? ?? 1 / 2

Compute each term:

For the second integral:

Answer: A 
Solution: 
Consider the curves 
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
and 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? : 
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points 
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute 
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
into 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Let 
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
. 
Then 
?? 2
= ?? 4
 
and 
?? = ?? + 2. 
Substitute into the second curve: 
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) . 
Simplify the right side: 
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? . 
Thus, the equation becomes 
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) . 
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? : 
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0. 
Thus, either 
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8. 
For ?? = 0 : 
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0. 
For ?? 3
= - 8 : 
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4. 
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) . 
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ?? 
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? . 
From the second curve: 
?? = 2 -

From the first curve, solving

?? - 2 = ± v ?? . 
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch: 
?? = 2 - v ?? . 
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is 
?? left

and the right boundary is 
?? right 
= 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area 
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is 
? ?? = ?? right 
- ?? left 
= ( 2 -
?? 2
8
) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -
?? 2

Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 :

Answer: A 
Solution: 
Consider the curves 
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
and 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? : 
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points 
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute 
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
 
into 
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? . 
Let 
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
. 
Then 
?? 2
= ?? 4
 
and 
?? = ?? + 2. 
Substitute into the second curve: 
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) . 
Simplify the right side: 
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? . 
Thus, the equation becomes 
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) . 
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? : 
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0. 
Thus, either 
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8. 
For ?? = 0 : 
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0. 
For ?? 3
= - 8 : 
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4. 
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) . 
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ?? 
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? . 
From the second curve: 
?? = 2 -

From the first curve, solving

?? - 2 = ± v ?? . 
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch: 
?? = 2 - v ?? . 
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is 
?? left

and the right boundary is 
?? right 
= 2 -
?? 2
8
. 
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area 
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is 
? ?? = ?? right 
- ?? left 
= ( 2 -

) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -

Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 :

FAQs on Application of Integrals: JEE Main Previous Year Questions (2021-2026)

1. What is the application of integrals in JEE mains?
Ans. The application of integrals in JEE mains involves using integration techniques to solve problems related to areas, volumes, and other physical quantities. It helps in finding the area under curves, calculating the displacement, and determining the rate of change of quantities.
2. How are integrals used to find the area under curves in JEE mains?
Ans. Integrals are used to find the area under curves in JEE mains by calculating the definite integral of a function over a given interval. The area under a curve can be determined by integrating the function and evaluating it within the specified interval.
3. Can integrals be used to calculate the volume of solids in JEE mains?
Ans. Yes, integrals can be used to calculate the volume of solids in JEE mains. By considering the cross-sections of a solid and integrating them over a given interval, the volume of the solid can be determined. This technique is known as the method of cross-sections.
4. How are integrals applied to calculate displacement in JEE mains?
