  1. What is the area of the region bounded by straight line 9x + 4y = 36, x - axis and the y - axis ?
    1. 12 sq. units
    2. 18 sq. units
    3. 16 sq. units
    4. 15 sq. units
Correct Option: B


Putting y = 0 in 9x + 4y = 36 9x = 36 ⇒ x = 4
∴ Co-ordinates of point A = (4, 0)
i.e OA = 4 units
Putting x = 0 in 9x + 4y = 36
4y = 36 ⇒ y = 9
∴ Co-ordinates of point B = (0, 9)
i.e. OB = 9 units

∴ Area of ∴OAB =
1
× OA × OB
