If a straight line \(L\) is perpendicular to the line \(4 x-2 y=1\) and forms a triangle of area 4 sq unit with the coordinate axes, then the equation of the line \(L\) is

  1. A \(2 x+4 y+7=0\)
  2. B \(2 x-4 y+8=0\)
  3. C \(2 x+4 y+8=0\)
  4. D \(4 x-2 y-8=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 x+4 y+8=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A straight line \(L\) is perpendicular to the line \(4 x-2 y=1\) therefore the equation of the line is \(x+2 y+\lambda=0\) \(\ldots\) (i) Also, the line (i) form a \(\Delta\) of area 4 unit \(^2\) with the coordinate axes, then…
