The correct answer is: $\frac{13}{6}$
$y=1+4 x-x^{2}=5-(x-2)^{2}$




We have $\int_{0}^{3 / 2}\left(1+4 x-x^{2}\right) \mathrm{dx}=2 \int_{0}^{3 / 2} \operatorname{mx} \mathrm{dx}$

$=\frac{3}{2}+2\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)-\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{27}{8}\right)=\mathrm{m} \cdot \frac{9}{4}$

On solving we get $\mathrm{m}=\frac{13}{6}$
