The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{6}$
We have,
$$
y=x^2+4, y=5 x-2
$$
Solving equation, we get


$(2,8)$ and $(3,13)$
Area of shaded region
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \int_2^3\left((5 x-2)-\left(x^2+4\right) d x\right. \\
& =\int_2^3\left(5 x-x^2-6\right) d x=\left[\frac{5 x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{3}-6 x\right]_2^3 \\
& =\left[\left(\frac{45}{2}-9-18\right)-\left(10-\frac{8}{3}-12\right)\right]=\frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}
