What is the area of the parabola y2 = 4bx bounded by its latus rectum?

What is the area of the parabola y2 = 4bx bounded by its latus rectum? Correct Answer 8b<sup style="">2</sup> / 3 square unit

Concept:

y2 = 4ax is the standard form of parabola 4a = length of latus rectum. 

 

Calculation:

Here, y2 = 4bx

Comparing standard equation of parabola,

 4bx = 4ax

∴ a = b,

_{0}^{b} \\ =4 \rm\sqrt{b} \times \frac{2}{3} b^{3 / 2} \\ =\frac{8}{3} \rm b^{2} \end{array}\)

Hence, option (4) is correct.
