The correct answer is: $64 / 3$ sq. unit
Line $y=4$ meets the parabola $y^{2}=x$ at $A$
$\therefore \quad 16=x$ and $A$ is $(16,4)$


$\therefore$ Required area
$$
\begin{array}{l}
=\int_{y=0}^{4} x d y \\
=\int_{y=0}^{4} y^{2} d y \\
=\left[y^{3} / 3\right]_{0}^{4} \\
=\frac{64}{3} \text { sq units }
\end{array}
$$
