    On putting x = 0 in x + y = 2,
    0 + y = 2 Þ y = 2
    ∴ Point of intersection on y-axis = (0, 2)
    Again,
    putting y = 0 in x + y = 2, x = 2
    ∴ Point of intersection on x-axis = (2, 0)
    x – y = 0 will pass through origin and be equally inclined to axes.

    On putting x = y in x + y = 2, 2y = 2 ⇒ y = 1
    ∴ CD = 1 OA = 2

    Area of ∆ OAC =
    1
    × OA × CD =
    1
    × 2 × 1 = 1 sq. units

    3x + 4y = 10 ---(i)
    – x + 2y = 0
    ⇒ x = 2y
    ∴ From equation (i),
    3 × 2y + 4y = 10 Þ 10y = 10

    ⇒ y =
    10
    = 1
    10

    ∴ x = 2
    ∴ (a, b) = (2, 1)
    ∴ a + b = 2 + 1 = 3

    Correct Option: C

    3x + 4y = 10 ---(i)
    – x + 2y = 0
    ⇒ x = 2y
    ∴ From equation (i),
    3 × 2y + 4y = 10 Þ 10y = 10

    ⇒ y =
    10
    = 1
    10

    ∴ x = 2
    ∴ (a, b) = (2, 1)
    ∴ a + b = 2 + 1 = 3



  1. The area in sq. unit. of the triangle formed by the graphs of x = 4, y = 3 and 3x + 4y = 12 is

    x = 4, a straight line parallel to y – axis.
    y = 3, a straight line parallel to x – axis.
    Putting x = 0 in 3x + 4y = 12, 3 × 0 + 4y = 12,

    ⇒ 4y = 12 ⇒ y =
    12
    = 4
    3

    ∴ Point of intersection on y – axis = (0, 4)
    Again, putting y = 0 in 3x + 4y = 12, 3x + 4 × 0 = 12
    ⇒ 3x = 12 ⇒ x =
    12
    = 4
    3

    ∴ Point of intersection onx - axis = (4, 0)

    Area of ∎ OACB = OA × OB = 4 × 3 = 12 sq. units
    Area of ∆ OAB =
    1
    × OA × OB =
    1
    × 4 × 3 = 6 sq. units
    22

    ∴ Area of ∆ABC = 12 – 6 = 6 sq. units

    Correct Option: D

    x = 4, a straight line parallel to y – axis.
    y = 3, a straight line parallel to x – axis.
    Putting x = 0 in 3x + 4y = 12, 3 × 0 + 4y = 12,

    ⇒ 4y = 12 ⇒ y =
    12
    = 4
    3

    ∴ Point of intersection on y – axis = (0, 4)
    Again, putting y = 0 in 3x + 4y = 12, 3x + 4 × 0 = 12
    ⇒ 3x = 12 ⇒ x =
    12
    = 4
    3

    ∴ Point of intersection onx - axis = (4, 0)

    Area of ∎ OACB = OA × OB = 4 × 3 = 12 sq. units
    Area of ∆ OAB =
    1
    × OA × OB =
    1

    ∴ Area of ∆ABC = 12 – 6 = 6 sq. units

    Putting y = 0 in 4x + 3y = 12,
    we get x = 3
    Putting x = 0 in 4x + 3y = 12, we get, y = 4

    Correct Option: B

    Putting y = 0 in 4x + 3y = 12,
    we get x = 3
    Putting x = 0 in 4x + 3y = 12, we get, y = 4
