Q: 9. Consider the graph of . How many points with integer coordinates lie on the boundary of the area enclosed by the graph?

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)

Ans: B

Solution:

By putting values of as zero, we can get the points where the graph touches the axis respectively. Now considering the boundary of the 1^st quadrant of this graph, the boundary is represented by , where x & y has to be positive integer.

Apart from the points on the axes there are 3 positive integral pair of values that satisfy the equations. Thus considering all quadrant & the points on the axes , total no of integral points will be
