Could you please upload the image of the system described? It's impossible to answer the question otherwise.

The "image of the system" is part of the solution! As you will see below, it is almost the whole solution itself!

$$? = {S_{{\rm{shaded}}}}\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\left\{ \matrix{
\,xy > 0\, \hfill \cr
\,0 < y < 2\,\,\,\, \hfill \cr
\,x < y + 1 \hfill \cr} \right.\,\,\,\,\,\, \cong \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left\{ \matrix{
\,x > 0\, \hfill \cr
\,0 < y < 2\,\,\,\, \hfill \cr
\,y > x - 1 \hfill \cr} \right.\,$$

$$? = {S_{\rm{I}}} + {S_{{\rm{II}}}} = 1 \cdot 2 + {{\left( {3 - 1} \right) \cdot 2} \over 2} = 4\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left( {\rm{C}} \right)$$

We follow the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

Fabio.
