NCERT’s answer
A
(A) \(\displaystyle 20\pi\) sq units. The ellipse is symmetric about both axes, so \(\displaystyle A = 4\times\) (first-quadrant area).
\[y = \frac{4}{5}\sqrt{25 - x^2} \quad (y \ge 0) \]\[A = 4\int_0^5 \frac{4}{5}\sqrt{25 - x^2}\,dx = \frac{16}{5}\int_0^5 \sqrt{5^2 - x^2}\,dx \]\[= \frac{16}{5}\left[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{25 - x^2} + \frac{25}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{5}\right]_0^5 \]\[= \frac{16}{5}\cdot\frac{25}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi}{2} = 20\pi \]
