If the straight line ax+by+c=0make a triangle of constant area with coordinate axes, then 

a
a,b,c are in G.P.
b
a, c, b are in G.P.
c
c, a, b are in G.P.
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Line ax+by+c=0 meets the coordinate axes at A(-c/a, 0) and (0, -c/b)∴  Area of ΔOAB=12×OA×OB⇒  Area of ΔOAB=12×−ca−cb=c2Clearly, this will be constant, if a, c, b arc in G.P.
