IIT-JEE 1986Question 1
All points lying inside the triangle formed by the points $(1,3)$, $(5,0)$ and $(-1,2)$ satisfy
Points and Straight Lines
Options for question 1, one or more may be correct

More than one option may be correct.

Solution

Check vertices (linear inequalities hold on the whole triangle iff at the vertices): $3x+2y$ gives $9,15,1\ge0$; $2x-3y-12$ gives $-19,-2,-20\le0$. But $2x+y-13<0$ at $(1,3)$ and $-2x+y<0$ at $(5,0)$. So A and C.
