Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1^{st}\) and \(2^{nd}\) quadrants

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now, \(\left| {\frac{{15 - 3t}}{5}} \right| = \left| t \right|\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{{15 - 3t}}{5} = t\,\,\) or \(\frac{{15 - 3t}}{5} = - t\) \(\therefore t = \frac{{15}}{8}\,\) or \(t = \frac{{ - 15}}{2}\) So, \(P\left( {\frac{{15}}{8}.\frac{{15}}{8}} \right) \in {I^{st}}\)…
