A straight line is drawn through the point P(3, 4) meeting the positive direction of coordinate axes at the points A and B. If '0' is the origin then minimum area of triangle OAB is equal to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let the equation of drawn line be 
where a > 3, b > 4, as the line passes through (3,4) and meets the positive direction of coordinate axis. We have 
⇒ ⇒ b = 
. Now area of triangle OAB.
Clearly a = 6 is the point of minima for Δ Δ .
Thus 
= 24 sq. units.
