Question : If $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$, then the value of $x^{2}+y^{2}$ is:
Option 1: 49
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 113
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 113
Solution : Given: $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$. We know that $(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy$. ⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=(x-y)^{2}+2xy$ By putting the value of $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$ in above expression, we get: ⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=7^{2}+2×32$ ⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=49+64$ ⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=113$ Hence, the correct answer is 113.
