Q5
The total area (in sq. unit) of the triangles formed by the graph of 4x + 5y = 40, x-axis, y-axis and x = 5 and y = 4 is:
A.
10
B.
20
AnswerC.
30
D.
40
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:

Intersection point of 4x + 5y = 40 and y = 4 will be,
4x + 5 × 4 = 40
4x = 20
x = 5
∴ Intersecting point is (5, 4)
Area of ΔABC = × (10 - 5) × 4 = 10 sq. units
Area of ΔCDE = × 5 × (8 - 4) = 10 sq. units
∴ Area bounded by the graph = 10 + 10 = 20 sq units.
