Question:

If X2 + Y2 = 100 and X : Y = 4 : 3, then what is the value of X2 − Y2?

Options:

18

28

36

24

Correct Answer:

28

Explanation:

If X2 + Y2 = 100

X : Y = 4 : 3,

then what is the value of X2 − Y2?

Let the value of X and Y be 4m and 3m

Given,

X2 + Y2 = 100

= 16m2 + 9m2 = 100

= m2 = \(\frac{100}{25}\) = 4

= a = 2

= X2 – Y= 16m2 – 9m2 = 7m2 = 7 × 4 = 28
