MCQ
Let $X=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}: \frac{x^2}{8}+\frac{y^2}{20}<1\right.$ and $\left.y^2<5 x\right\}$. Three distinct points $P, Q$ and $R$ are randomly chosen from $X$. Then the probability that $P, Q$ and $R$ form a triangle whose area is a positive integer, is
  • A
    $\frac{71}{220}$
  •  $\frac{73}{220}$
  • C
    $\frac{79}{220}$
  • D
    $\frac{83}{220}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
 $\frac{73}{220}$
b
$\frac{x^2}{8}+\frac{y^2}{20}<1 y^2<5 x$

Solving corresponding equations

$\frac{x^2}{8}+\frac{y^2}{20}=1 y^2=5 x$

$x=2$

$y= \pm \sqrt{10}$

$X=\{(1,1),(1,0),(1,-1),(1,2),(1,-2),(2,3),(2,2),(2,1),(2,0),(2,-1),(2,-2),(2,-3)\}$

Let $\mathrm{S}$ be the sample space $\mathrm{E}$ be the event $\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})={ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_3$

For $E$

Selecting $3$ points in which $2$ points are either or $\mathrm{x}=1$  $\mathrm{x}=2$ but distance $\mathrm{b} / \mathrm{w}$ then is even

Triangles with base $2$ :

$=3 \times 7+5 \times 5=46$

Triangles with base $4$ :

$=1 \times 7+3 \times 5=22$

Triangles with base $6$ :

$=1 \times 5=5$

$P(E)=\frac{46+22+5}{{ }^{12} C_3}=\frac{73}{220}$
