Solution
The correct option is
C
|
a
|
<
1
|
x
+
y
|
=
2
So, the two lines are
x
+
y
=
2
and
x
+
y
=
−
2
Point
(
a
,
a
)
lies on the line
y
=
x
So, the set of points
(
a
,
a
)
between the lines
x
+
y
=
2
and
x
+
y
=
−
2
is the portion of line
y
=
x
between lines
x
+
y
=
2
and
x
+
y
=
−
2
The line
y
=
x
and
x
+
y
=
2
intersect at the point
(
1
,
1
)
and The line
y
=
x
and
x
+
y
=
−
2
intersect at the point
(
−
1
,
−
1
)
So, the solution is the set of all points on the line
y
=
x
between points
(
1
,
1
)
and
(
−
1
,
−
1
)
∴
−
1
<
a
<
1
∴

<

The answer is option (C)
