Question : What is the simplified value of:
$\frac{1}{8}\left\{\left(x+\frac{1}{y}\right)^2-\left(x-\frac{1}{y}\right)^2\right\}$

Option 1: $\frac{x}{y}$

Option 2: $\frac{2x}{y}$

Option 3: $\frac{x}{2y}$

Option 4: $\frac{4x}{y}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{x}{2y}$


Solution : $\frac{1}{8}\left\{\left(x+\frac{1}{y}\right)^2-\left(x-\frac{1}{y}\right)^2\right\}$
$=\frac{1}{8}(x^2 +\frac{1}{y^2} + 2×x×\frac{1}{y} - x^2 - \frac{1}{y^2} + 2×x×\frac{1}{y})$
$=\frac{1}{8}(\frac{4x}{y})$
$=\frac{x}{2y}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{x}{2y}$.

= $\frac{20}{100}\times10000+\frac{30}{100}\times 20000$
= $2000+6000$
= $8000$
Hence, the correct answer is
