Question

Each of the four inequalities given below defines a region in the xy-plane. Let P be the property that, for any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in the region, the point (12(x1+x2),12(y1+y2)) is also in the region. Then which of them does not satisfy property P?

Solution

The correct option is B x2y21
Option A, x2+2y21
It can be written as
x21+y21/21
which represents inside region of an ellipse
We know for an ellipse, the mid-point of any two points in the region, is also in the region.
Let's take two points (0,0) and (12,0) which lies in the region.
Now, mid-point is (14,0) which also lies in the region .
Now, option B, max{|x|,|y|}1
Now, option C, x2y21
which represents inside region of hyperbola.
A hyperbola has two parts . If we take 2 points , one in one part and other in other part, the mid-point need not to be inside the hyperbola.
Let's take (12,0) and (14,0) as two points.
Their mid-point is (18,0) is not in the region of hyperbola.
Hence, option C does not satisfy property P.
Option D , y2x20
which represents inside region of pair of straight lines.
Mid -point of any two point in the region will lie in the region only.
Hence, satisfies property P.
