Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

(2, 3)

Solution :

The correct option is (2, 3).

To determine which point lies on the line given by the equation:

3x+2y=12

we need to substitute the coordinates (x,y) of each given point into the equation and check which one satisfies it (i.e., makes the left side equal to 12).

Step 1: Test point (2, 3)
Substitute x=2 and y=3 into the equation:

3(2)+2(3)=6+6=12

Since 12=12, the point (2,3) satisfies the equation. Therefore, the line passes through the point (2,3).

Step 2: Verification of other options

• For (4, 1):
3(4)+2(1)=12+2=1412

• For (1, 6):
3(1)+2(6)=3+12=1512

• For (1, 4):
3(1)+2(4)=3+8=1112

Hence, the only point that lies on the line is (2, 3).
