Let be the set of all triangles in the -plane, each having one vertex at the origin and the other two vertices lie on coordinate axes with integral coordinates. If each triangle in has area sq. units, then the number of elements in the set is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Since the vertex of given triangle is (origin) and other two vertices A and B. y ( x, y \in I ). y = 50 ⇒ x . y = 100
Possible ordered pairs of \left(x, y\right) when formed in quadrant are i. e. \left(1, 100\right), \left(4, 25\right), \left(10, 10\right), \left(25, 4\right), \left(50, 2\right), \left(100, 1\right)
can be formed in any of the quadrants, hence total number of cases 9 \times 4 = 36 .
