Question : If $x + y = 10$, $2xy = 48$ and $x > y$, then find $2x - y$.

Option 1: 6

Option 2: 8

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : Given that $x + y = 10$ and $2xy = 48$,
$⇒y = 10 - x$
Substituting this into the second equation,
$⇒2x(10 - x) = 48$
$⇒x^2-10x+24=0$
$⇒(x-4)(x-6)=0$
$x = 6$ and $x = 4$
But given that $x > y$, we take $x

Question : If $ p(x+y)^{2}=5$ and $q(x-y)^{2}=3$, then the simplified value of $p^{2}(x+y)^{2}+4pq xy -q^{2}(x-y)^{2}$ is:

Option 1: $-(p+q)$

Option 2: $2(p+q)$

Option 3: $p+q$

Option 4: $-2(p+q)$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2(p+q)$


Solution : $p(x+y)^{2}=5$ and $q(x-y)^{2}=3$
$(x+y)^2 = \frac{5}{p}$ and $(x-y)^2 = \frac{3}{q}$
Since $(x+y)^2- (x-y)^2 = 4xy $
So, $ 4xy = \frac{5}{p} - \frac{3}{q}$
By putting it in the given expression, we have,
$p^{2}(x+y)^{2}+4pq xy -q^{2}(x-y)^{2}$
= $p^2 \frac{5}{p} + 4pqxy - q^2 \frac{3}{q}$
= $5p
