The equation of lines joining origin and point of intersection of \mathrm{\sqrt{5 x}+2 y=3 \sqrt{5}}  and \mathrm{\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2=10}, is

\mathrm{x^2+y^2=10\left(\frac{\sqrt{5 x}+2 y}{3 \sqrt{5}}\right)^2 \text { or } x^2-y^2+8 \sqrt{5 x y}=0 }

\Rightarrow These lines are perpendicular
\Rightarrow Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} =\frac{1}{2} \times \text{radius} \times \text{radius} =\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{10}=5
