Mathematics Question on Area under Simple Curves

Let AA be the area bounded by the curve y=xx3y=x|x-3|, the xx-axis and the ordinates x=1x=-1 and x=2x=2 Then 12A12 A is equal to _____

Answer

The correct answer is 62.
A=−1∫0​(x2−3x)dx+0∫2​(3x−x2)dx
⇒A=3x3​−23x2​∣∣​−10​+23x2​−3x3​∣∣​02​
⇒A=611​+310​=631​
∴12A=62
