    Area enclosed by the curve\[\pi \,[4{{(x-\sqrt{2})}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}]=8\] is

    A)  \[\pi \] sq unit       

    B)  \[2\] sq unit

    C)  \[3\pi \] sq unit      

    D)  \[4\]sq unit

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given equation can be rewritten as \[\frac{{{(x-\sqrt{2})}^{2}}}{2/\pi }+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{8/\pi }=1\] Which represents an ellipse. Here, \[a=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }}\] and \[b=\sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi }}\] Area enclosed in an ellipse\[=\pi ab\] \[=\pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }}\sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi }}=\sqrt{16}\] \[=4\,\text{sq}\text{.}\,\text{unit}\]
