Q. The line $x = \frac{c}{2}$ divides the triangle with vertices $(0, 0), (1, 1)$ and $(9, 1)$ into two regions. If the area of the two regions is the same, then $c$ is equal to

$30$

$6$

$\frac{7}{2}$

$15$

$2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot ∣ ∣ 9 \frac{c}{2} \frac{c}{2} 11 \frac{c}{18} 111 ∣ ∣ = \frac{1}{2} ∣ ∣ 910110111 ∣ ∣ = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 = 4$
$\Rightarrow \frac{c}{2} = 3$ or $\frac{c}{2} = 15$ (not possible)
$\Rightarrow c = 6$
