Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given, when, $x=0, y=1\therefore$ Graph according to question and above information\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \text{ If } y=m x \text{ bisects the area bounded } \\ & \Rightarrow \quad A_1=A_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \int_0^{3 / 2}\left(1+4 x-x^2\right) d x=2 \int_0^{3 / 2} m x d x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\left[x+2 x^2-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^{3 / 2}=\left[m x^2\right]_0^{3 / 2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}+2 \times \frac{9}{4}-\frac{27}{8} \times \frac{1}{3}=m \times \frac{9}{4} \\ & \therefore \quad m=\frac{13}{6}\end{aligned}$$
