If a variable line is moving such that the intercepts made by it on the coordinate axes are reciprocal to each other, then the points \(P(x, y)\) on such lines satisfy

  1. A \(x+y>4\)
  2. B \(4 x y>1\)
  3. C \(4 x y < 1\)
  4. D \(x+y=4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 x y < 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of line is moving such that intercept mode by it on the coordinate axis are reciprocal to each other is \(a x+\frac{y}{a}=1 \Rightarrow a^2 x-a+y=0\) \(a \in \mathbf{R}\) \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & (1)^2-4 x y>0 \\ & 4 x y < 1 \end{aligned}\)
