MCQ

A line $L$ passes through the points $(1, 1)$ and $(2, 0)$ and another line $L'$ passes through $\left( {\frac{1}{2},0} \right)$ and perpendicular to $L$. Then the area of the triangle formed by the lines $L,L'$ and $y$- axis, is

A
$15\over8$
B
$25\over4$
C
$25\over8$
✓
$25\over16$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$25\over16$

d
(d) Here $L \equiv x + y = 2$and $L' \equiv 2x - 2y = 1$.

Equation of $y$-axis is $x = 0$

Hence the vertices of the triangle are $A(0,\,2),B\left( {0, - \frac{1}{2}} \right)$ and $C\left( {\frac{5}{4},\frac{3}{4}} \right)$. Therefore, the area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2}\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0&2&1\\0&{ - \frac{1}{2}}&1\\{\frac{5}{4}}&{\frac{3}{4}}&1\end{array}\,} \right| = \frac{{25}}{{16}}$.
