Question
Let R be a region in the first quadrant of the xy plane enclosed by a closed curve C considered in counterclockwise direction. Which of the following expressions does not represent the area of the region R?
Options :
∮cxdy
1/2∮c(xdy-ydx)
∬Rdxdy
∮cydx
Answer :
∮cydx
Solution :
Green’s theorem, ∮c∅dx+ψdy=∬s(∂ψ/∂x-∂∅/∂y) dxdy
Checking from options,
From option (A) :
∮cxdy=∬s(1-0)dxdy=∬sdxdy ( ∅=0,ψ=x) (Area of region R in anticlockwise direction)
From option (B) :
1/2∮c(xdy-ydy)= 1/2 ∬s(1-(-1))dxdy ( ∅=-y,ψ=x)
=1/2 ∬s2dxdy = ∬sdxdy [Area of region R in anticlockwise direction]
From option (C) :
∮cdxdy= Area of region R
From option (D) :
∮cydx=∬s(0-(1))dxdy ( ∅=y,ψ=0)
=∬-1dxdy= -∬dxdy [Area of region R in clockwise direction]
Hence, the correct option is (D).
