The line 
meets 
-axis at A and x -axis at B . The perpendicular bisector of 
meets the line through 
parallel to x -axis at C . The area of the triangle 
is
A
units
B
units
C
units
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The coordinates of A and B are 
and 
respectively. The equation of the perpendicular bisector of AB is 
or 
.....(i)
Equation of a line passing through (0, –1) and parallel to x -axis is 
. This meets (i) at C , Therefore the coordinates of C are 
.
Hence the area of the triangle 
is
sq. units .
