Question:

If $49a^2 + 25b^2 = 30$ and ab = 1, b > 0, then the value of (7a + 5b) is :

Options:

14

8

12

10

Correct Answer:

10

Explanation:

We know,

If, x2 + y2 = b

and x + y = \(\sqrt {b + 2xy}\)

If $49a^2 + 25b^2 = 30$

ab = 1, b > 0,

then the value of (7a + 5b) = \(\sqrt {30 + 2 × 7 × 5}\) = \(\sqrt {100}\) = 10
