If the plane \(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{z}{5}=1\) cuts the co-ordinate axes in point \(A, B, C\) respectively, then the area of the triangle \(A B C\) is

  1. A \(\frac{17}{2}\) sq. units
  2. B \(\frac{19}{2}\) sq. units
  3. C \(\frac{11}{2}\) sq. units
  4. D \(\frac{15}{2}\) sq. units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{19}{2}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A \((2,0,0)\), B \((0,-3,0)\), C \((0,0,-5)\) Area \(=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(2 \cdot (-3))^2 + ((-3) \cdot (-5))^2 + ((-5) \cdot 2)^2}\)
