Let the line x + y = 1$x + y = 1$ meet the axes of x$x$ and y$y$ at A and B, respectively. A right angled triangle AMN is inscribed in the triangle OAB, where O is the origin and the points M and N lie on the lines OB and AB, respectively. If the area of the triangle AMN is (4)/(9)$\frac{4}{9}$ of the area of the triangle OAB and AN: NB = \lambda : 1, then the sum of all possible value(s) of λ$\lambda$ is :
A.(1)/(2)$\frac{1}{2}$
B.(13)/(6)$\frac{13}{6}$
C.(5)/(2)$\frac{5}{2}$

Area of a right-angled triangle:
Area = (1)/(2) × base × height$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$
Core Logic
The line equation is x + y = 1$x + y = 1$, giving intercept coordinates A(1, 0)$A(1, 0)$ and B(0, 1)$B(0, 1)$.
Area of Triangles and Inscribed Shapes diagram for Q58 - JEE Main 2025 Evening
Area of Δ OAB = (1)/(2) × 1 × 1 = (1)/(2)$\Delta OAB = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 = \frac{1}{2}$.
Given area condition:
Area of Δ AMN = (4)/(9) × (1)/(2) = (2)/(9)$$\text{Area of } \Delta AMN = \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{9}$$
Step 1: Set up Trigonometric Tracing
Let ∠ MAO = 45^° - θ$\angle MAO = 45^\circ - \theta$. Since Δ OAB$\Delta OAB$ is isosceles right-angled at O$O$, ∠ OAB = 45^°$\angle OAB = 45^\circ$.
This establishes:
Thus, the valid evaluation matches the option sequence value of 2.
Pattern Recognition
When dealing with inscribed right triangles inside symmetric linear bounds, parameterizing coordinates with angles matching the axis slope simplifies configuration variables dramatically.

A line passing through the point A(9,0)$A(9,0)$ makes an angle of 30°$30^{\circ}$ with the positive direction of x-axis. If this line is rotated about A through an angle of 15°$15^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction, then its equation in the new position is

C.x√(3) + 2 + y = 9$\frac{x}{\sqrt{3} + 2} + y = 9$

Rotation of Axes and Lines diagram for Q1 - JEE Main 2024 Morning
The initial line makes an angle of 30°$30^{\circ}$ with the positive x-axis. It is rotated clockwise by 15°$15^{\circ}$ about the point A(9, 0)$A(9, 0)$.
The new angle made by the line with the positive direction of the x-axis is 30° - 15° = 15°$30^{\circ} - 15^{\circ} = 15^{\circ}$.
Step 1: Equation of the new line
The equation of the line passing through A(9, 0)$A(9, 0)$ with a slope of 15°$\tan 15^{\circ}$ is:
Eqⁿ: y - 0 = 15° (x - 9)$$\text{Eq}^n: y - 0 = \tan 15^{\circ} (x - 9)$$
We know that 15° = 2 - √(3)$\tan 15^{\circ} = 2 - \sqrt{3}$.
-y√(3) - 2 = x - 9$$\frac{-y}{\sqrt{3} - 2} = x - 9$$y√(3) - 2 + x = 9$$\frac{y}{\sqrt{3} - 2} + x = 9$$
Pattern Recognition
A clockwise rotation decreases the angle of inclination. Calculate the new angle, find its tangent, and carefully algebraicize the denominator to match the given option forms.

Centroid and Orthocentre diagram for Q2 - JEE Main 2024 Evening
Let Orthocentre C(-6, -8)$C(-6, -8)$ and Circumcentre B(3, 4)$B(3, 4)$. Centroid A(a, b)$A(a, b)$ divides CB$CB$ in 2:1$2:1$.
So, P(2a+3, 7b+5) = (3, 5)$P(2a+3, 7b+5) = (3, 5)$.
The line along which distance is measured is parallel to x - 2y - 1 = 0$x - 2y - 1 = 0$, giving slope m = θ = (1)/(2)$m = \tan\theta = \frac{1}{2}$.
Using parametric coordinates from P(3,5)$P(3,5)$:
x = 3 + r θ, y = 5 + r θ$$x = 3 + r\cos\theta, \quad y = 5 + r\sin\theta$$
Substitute into the target line 2x + 3y - 4 = 0$2x + 3y - 4 = 0$:
