P cannot be inside `DeltaOAB`

C

P lies inside the `DeltaOAB`

D

None of these

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given for the point P(x, y) in relation to the points A(1, 0) and B(0, 1). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points and Conditions:** - We have the origin O(0, 0), point A(1, 0), and point B(0, 1). - The point P(x, y) must satisfy the conditions: \( x > 0 \), \( y > 0 \) (which means P is in the first quadrant) and \( x + y < 1 \). 2. **Understanding the Line x + y = 1:** - The line defined by the equation \( x + y = 1 \) intersects the x-axis at A(1, 0) and the y-axis at B(0, 1). - The area below this line and above the axes forms a triangle with vertices O(0, 0), A(1, 0), and B(0, 1). 3. **Determine the Region for P(x, y):** - Since \( x + y < 1 \), point P must lie below the line \( x + y = 1 \). - Given that \( x > 0 \) and \( y > 0 \), point P must also lie in the first quadrant. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the point P(x, y) lies inside the triangle formed by the points O(0, 0), A(1, 0), and B(0, 1). - Since the conditions also allow for \( x < 0 \) and \( y < 0 \) (which would place P in the third quadrant), we can conclude that P can also lie in the third quadrant if both x and y are negative. ### Final Answer: The point P(x, y) lies inside the triangle OAB in the first quadrant and can also lie in the third quadrant if both coordinates are negative.
