Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 14 sq units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The region is bounded by the lines \(2x + y = 10\), \(y = 1\), \(y = 5\), and the y-axis (\(x = 0\)). Expressing \(x\) in terms of \(y\) from the equation \(2x + y = 10\), we get \(x = \dfrac{10 - y}{2} = 5 - 0.5y\). The area \(A\) of the region is given by the integral of \(x\)…
