CAT Questions

This question is from Coordinate Geometry. In this question, three inequalities are given. We have to find the area enclosed by these three inequalities. Coordinate Geometry question that appears in the CAT Exam broadly tests an aspirant on the concepts - Graphical Representation of Geometrical shapes, Distance between points, Section formula, Intercepts, Circles and so on. In CAT Exam, one can generally expect to get approx. 1 question from CAT Geometry: Coordinate Geometry.

Explanatory Answer

|x| – y = 1
y = |x| – 1

We got a trapezium with h = 1
And parallel sides = 2 and 4
= \\frac{1}{2})(2+4)×1
= 3 square units

The question is "The area of the region satisfying the inequalities |x| - y ≤ 1, y ≥ 0, and y ≤ 1 is"

Hence, the answer is, " 3"
