Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{27}{4}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& y^2-9 x y+18 x^2=0 \\
& \therefore(y-3 x)(y-6 x)=0
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus three lines forming triangle are \(y=3 x, y=6 x, y=9\)

Their point of intersections are \((0,0),(3,9),\left(\frac{3}{2}, 9\right)\)
\(\therefore\) Area of triangle
\(=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{2} \times 9\)
\(=\frac{27}{4}\) sq. units
