If a, c, b are in G.P., then the area of the triangle formed by the lines a x+b y+c=0 with the coordinates axes is equal to
Options
- A1
- B2
- C1 2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Area of the triangle = 1 2 ( x intercept ) ( y intercept )= 1 2 (- c a ) (- c b )= 1 2 c ² ab = 1 2 unit [ a , c , b . are in . G . P . c ²= ab ]
