Let `O`
be the origin. If `A(1,0)a n dB(0,1)a n dP(x , y)`
are points such that `x y >0a n dx+y<1,`
then
`P`
lies either inside the triangle `O A B`
or in the third quadrant.
`P`
cannot lie inside the triangle `O A B`
`P`
lies inside the triangle `O A B`
`P`
lies in the first quadrant only
A. P lies either inside the triangle OAB or in the third quadrant
B. P cannot lie inside the triangle OAB
C. P lies inside the triangle OAB
D. P lies in the first quadrant only

Correct Answer - A
Since `xy gt 0,` P lies either in the first quadrant or in the third quadrant. The inequality `x+y lt 1` represents all the points below the line x+y=1 so that `xy gt 0` and `x+y lt 1 imply that P lies either inside the triangle OAB or in the third quadrant.
