The correct answer is: 16

We have,


y=x2+x+10


x2+x+14=y-10+14


x+122=y-394


Latusrectum of parabola is 1.


Length of chord is also 1.


Area is maximum when chord is latusrectum.

Area of shaded region=Area of rectangle OABC-2-1/20parabola



=10-2-120x2+x+10dx


=10-2x33+x22+10-120


=10-2-124+18-102=16
