LetSbe the set of all triangles in thexy-plane, each having one vertex at the origin and the other two vertices lie on coordinate axes with integral coordinates. If each triangle inShas area50sq. units, then the number of elements in the setSis:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Since the vertex of given triangle isO(origin) and other two verticesAandBlies on the coordinate axes, hence triangle must be a right-angled triangle.

Area=12x.y                        ( x, yI)

As per given condition

12x.y=50x. y=100

Possible ordered pairs ofx, ywhenformed in1stquadrant are9i. e.1,100, 2,50, 4,25, 5,20, 10,10, 25, 4, 50, 2, 100,1

can be formed in any of the quadrants, hence total number of cases9×4=36.
