JEE Main 9 January 2020, Shift 2, Maths Q63

Question 63 of 75 in this shift, Maths question 13 of 25, Section A.

Given : f(x)={x,0≤x<1212,x=121−x,12<x≤1f(x)=\begin{cases}x, & 0\le x<\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}, & x=\frac{1}{2}\\ 1-x, & \frac{1}{2}<x\le1\end{cases} and g(x)=(x−12)2g(x)=\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2, x∈Rx\in\mathbf{R}. Then the area (in sq. units) of the region bounded by the curves, y=f(x)y=f(x) and y=g(x)y=g(x) between the lines, 2x=12x=1 and 2x=32x=\sqrt3, is :
  1. (1)12−34\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt3}{4}
  2. (2)13+34\frac{1}{3}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}
  3. (3)12+34\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}
