Detailed Solution

Given combined equation of OA¯ and OB¯ is 
12x220xy+7y2=012x26xy14xy+7y2=06x(2xy)7y(2xy)=0(6x7y)(2xy)=0
The lines represented by given  equation are
6x7y=0 ...(1)2xy=0 ...(2) 
The third side AB equation is
2x3y+4=0 ...(3)
the point of intersection of (1) and (2) is O(0,0)
Point of intersection of the lines (1) and (3) is A

x280=y024=118+14x=284=7;y=244=6A=(7,6)
B is point of intersection of the lines (2) and (3)
 x y 1 1 0 2 -13 4 2 3
x40=y08=16+2
x=44=1;y=84=2  B=(1,2)
 Centroid of OAB=x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33
=0+7+13,0+6+23 =83,83
 centroid of OAB=83,83
 Area of ΔOAB=12x1y2x2y1=12|146| = 4 sq.units
 ii) given combined equation of OA¯ and OB¯ is 
2y2xy6x2=02y24xy+3xy6x2=02y(y2x)+3x(y2x)=0(y2x)(3x+2y)=0
The lines represented by  given equation are
2xy=0 ...(1)3x+2y=0 ...(2)
The third side AB equation is
x+y+4=0 ...(3)
The point of intersection of (1) and (2) is O(0,0)
Point of intersection of the lines (1) and (3) is A
            x           y         1   -1          0           2       -1      1           4           1          1
x40=y08=12+1x=43;y=83;A=43,83
B is point of intersection of the lines (2) and (3)
       x          y         1  2         0          3         2 1         4           1        1
x80=y012=132 B=(8,12)
 Centroid of OAB=04/3+83,08/3123
=4+249,8369=209,449
 Area of OAB=12x1y2x2y1
=1243×12883=1216+643=1248+643=121123=563 sq.units
