The value of m for which the area of the triangle included
between the axes and any tangent to the curve x m y = b m is
constant, is –
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
For x m . y = b m
= – 
⇒ EOT ⇒ y – y 1 = 
(x – x 1 )
⇒ y + 
x = y 1 + my 1 ⇒ 
+ 
= 1
Area of Δ = 
(y 1 + my 1 ) = 
= 
= constant for m = 1
