Question:

If (x - \(\frac{1}{3}\))2 + (y - 4)2 = 0,

then find the value of \(\frac{y + x}{y - x}\).

Options:

\(\frac{11}{12}\)

\(\frac{12}{11}\)

\(\frac{11}{13}\)

\(\frac{13}{11}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{13}{11}\)

Explanation:

Formula → If (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = 0, then x = a and y = b

Applying the concept  →

x = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

y = 4

put in equation,

\(\frac{y + x}{y - x}\) = \(\frac{4 + \frac{1}{3}}{4 - \frac{1}{3}}\) = \(\frac{13}{11}\)
