Answer: Fourth option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of passengers for first car can hold = 6

Number of passengers for second car can hold = 3

According to question, If the ride designer wants to make sure that each run holds at least 12 passengers.

Let the number of 6 passengers cars be 'x'.

Let the number of 3-passengers cars be 'y'.

So, our equation becomes,


6x+3y\geq 12\\\\2x+y\geq 4

Put x = 0, y= 0

So, it becomes 0≥4 which is false.

So, it is shaded away from the origin.

At x= 0, y≥4

at y = 0, x≥6

Hence, Fourth option is correct.
