Answer:

Correct Answer: 17.(2)

Solution:

Formula:

Position of a Point with Respect to a Circle

  1. $x^{2}+y^{2} \leq 6$ and $2 x-3 y=1$ is shown as

For the point to lie in the shade part, origin and the point lie on opposite side of straight line $L$.

$\therefore$ For any point in shaded part $L>0$ and for any point inside the circle $S<0$.

Now, for $(2, \frac{3}{4}) \quad L: 2 x-3 y-1$

$ L: 4-\frac{9}{4}-1=\frac{3}{4}>0 $

and $S: x^{2}+y^{2}-6, S: 4+\frac{9}{16}-6<0$

$\Rightarrow \quad (2, \frac{3}{4})$ lies in shaded part.

For $(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{3}{4}), L: 5-9-1<0$ [neglect]

For $(\frac{1}{4},-\frac{1}{4}), L: \frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}-1>0 \} $

$\therefore \quad (\frac{1}{4},-\frac{1}{4})$ lies in the shaded part.

For $(\frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{4}), L: \frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{4}-1<0$ [neglect]

$\Rightarrow$ Only 2 points lie in the shaded part.
