Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}\text{ of the area of}\ \triangle OAB$
Solution : Given: The graph of $3x+4y-24=0$ forms a $\triangle OAB$ with the coordinate axes, where $O$ is the origin. Also, the graph of $x+y+4=0$ forms a $\triangle OCD$ with the coordinate axes. By substituting the value of $x=0$ in the equation $3x + 4y= 24$, we get, $3\times0+ 4y= 24$ ⇒ $4y=24$ ⇒ $y = 6$ Therefore, B's coordinates are $(0, 6)$. By substituting the value of $y=0$ in the equation $3x + 4y = 24$, we get, $3x + 4\times 0 = 24$ ⇒ $3x=24$ ⇒ $x = 8$ Therefore, A's coordinates are $(8,0)$. By substituting the value of $y=0$ in the equation $x + y = –4$, we get, $x + 0 = –4$ ⇒ $x=–4$ Therefore, C's coordinates are $(–4,0 )$. By substituting the value of $x=0$ in the equation $x + y = –4$, we get, $0 + y = –4$ ⇒ $y=–4$ Therefore, D's coordinates are $(0,–4)$. Also, the area of $\triangle OAB=\frac{1}{2}\times OA \times OB$. ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 6=24$ sq. units Similarly, the area of $\triangle OCD=\frac{1}{2}\times OC \times OD$. ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 4=8$ sq. units So, $ \text{ area of}\ \triangle OCD=\frac{1}{3} $ of the area of $\triangle OAB$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}\text{ of the area of}\ \triangle OAB$.
