GRE Exam Numerical Ability Algebra

If mx + qy − nx − py = 0, p − q = 3, and x/y = -2/3 , then which of the following is true?
A) n + m = 9/2 B) n - m = 2 C) m + n = 2 D) m - n = -9/2

Read Solution (Total 1)

Correct Option is (D)

mx+qy-nx-py=0
x(m-n)-y(p-q)=0
(-2y/3)(m-n)-3y=0 ; p-q=3 & x/y=(-2/3)
y(-2m+2n-9)=0 => m-n=(-9/2)
