What is the area bounded by \(y=e^{|x|}\) and the lines \(|x|=1\) and \(y=0\)?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

\((2e-2)\) square units

By symmetry of \(y=e^{|x|}\) about the y-axis, the required area is \(2\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}e^{x}\,dx=2\big[e^{x}\big]_{0}^{1}=2(e-1)=2e-2\) square units.
