The line `x=c` cuts the triangle with corners `(0,0),(1,1)` and `(9,1)` into two region. two regions to be the same c must be equal to (A) `5/2` (B) 3 (C) `7/2` (D) 5 or 15

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Area of `DeltaOAB = (1)/(2)(1)(8)` = 4 sq. units

The equation of OB is
`y = (1)/(9)x`
Hence, the point E is (C, C/9).
Now, the area of `Delta BDE` is 2 sq. units. Therefore,
`"or " (1)/(2)(1-(C)/(9))(9-C) = 2`
`"or "(9-C)^(2) = 36`
`"or " 9-C = +-6`
or C=3
