The correct answer is: $\frac{129}{10}$
Given, $f(x)=x^{2 / 3}, x \geq 0$ and line $y=x$


$\therefore$ Required area $A=\int_{x=1}^{8}\left(x-x^{2 / 3}\right) d x$
$=\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{3}{5} x^{5 / 3}\right]_{1}^{9}=\left(32-\frac{3}{5} \times 32\right)-\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{5}\right)$
$=32 \times \frac{2}{5}-\frac{(5-6)}{10}=\frac{64}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$
$=\frac{128+1}{10}=\frac{129}{10}$
