✅ Correct Option: 3

The two lines meet the x-axis at $x=14$ and $x=18$: $3x=42\Rightarrow x=14$ $4x=72\Rightarrow x=18$ The base of the triangle on the x-axis is $18-14=4$ units. Solving the two line equations gives their intersection as $(126,-48)$, so the perpendicular height from this point to the x-axis is 48 units. Area $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times4\times48=96$ square units.
