All points lying inside the triangle formed by the points (5, 0), (-1, 2) and (1, 3) satisfy :

(A) 3x+2y−18>03x + 2y - 18 > 0

(B) 3x+2y>03x + 2y > 0

(C) 2x+y+13<02x + y + 13 < 0

(D) 2x−3y−12<02x - 3y - 12 < 0

(E) 2x−3y+12>02x - 3y + 12 > 0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Test the centroid (5/3,5/3)(5/3, 5/3) of the triangle in each inequality.

(A) 5+10/3−18<05+10/3-18<0, fails. (B) 5+10/3>05+10/3>0, holds. (C) 10/3+5/3+13>010/3+5/3+13>0, fails. (D) 10/3−5−12<010/3-5-12<0, holds. (E) 10/3−5+12>010/3-5+12>0, holds.

So (B), (D), (E) only.
