For = 4ax and the line y = mx (m > 0), intersection points are at (0, 0) and (4a/, 4a/m). Using horizontal strips from y = 0 to y = 4a/m: the parabola gives x = y^ and the line gives x = . Since y/m > y^ on (0, 4a/m), the area = integral from 0 to 4a/m of [y/m - y^] dy = [y^ - y^] from 0 to 4a/m = 16a^ - 64a^ = 8/ - 16a^ = 8a^. This standard result 8a^ appears frequently in JEE. For m = 1 and a = 1, the area is 8/3.
