Detailed Solution

Let p be the length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the required line. The perpendicular makes an angle of 60° with the x-axis. Putting a= 60° in xcosα+ysinα=p the equation of the line is xcos60+ysin60=p

or, x+3y=2p.

This cuts the coordinate axes at A(2p,0) and B0,2p3

It is given that

           Area of OAB=543 sq. units.

 12(OA)(OB)=543 12×2p×2p3=543p2=81p=9

Hence, the equation of the line is x+3y=18
