The correct answer is: 9

Equation of parabola


y=x2-4 and 2y=4-x2



Let point B=h,4-h22


A=-h,4-h22


C=h1h2-4


D=-h,h2-4


Area of rectangle


ABCD=AB×BC=2h×4-h22-h2+4


A=12h-3h3dAdh=12-9h2


For maxima or minima


dAdh=012-9h2=0


h=±23 maximum at h=23


A=1223-3233=243-83


=163=1633


A-16×1733=9.22


A=9.22=9
