what will be the ratio of x:y
S1: x=y-8
S2: x^2=y^2
Read Solution (Total 15)
-
- both statement together require
S1: x=y-8 can't find x/y
S2: x^2=y^2 => x/y = +-1
from S1 & S2
x=y-8
=> -y = y-8 (at x=y, no values so put x=-y )
=> y = 4 , x = -4
x:y = -1
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(52) No(6)
- x^2=y^2
(y-8)^2=y^2
y^2+64-16y=y^2
16y=64
y=4
so, x=-4
x:y=-4:4=-1:1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(0)
- only S2. Using S1 we can not find x:y.

- both st together is reqd.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(2)
- both statement together are not sufficient..
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(7)
- only s2 is sufficient..
1-take sqre root both side and bring variables one side of the eqn. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- statement 2 : x^2=y^2
which gives x^2/y^2=1
(x/y)^2=1
x/y=1^1/2
x/y=1
so, statement 2 should alone be sufficient enough to find the ratio x/y. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- either one statement can find the ans

- Ratio canot b negetive
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(7)
- x=-4;y=4;
(-4)^2=(4)^2;
ratio
-1/1; - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- from s2 x^2 = y^2.....put the value of x from S1 then
(y-8)^2 = y^2.... we will get y = 4
Put the value of y in S1 then we will get x = -4
now, x/y = (-4/4)= -1
So Both statement is required to get the answer. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- ans:x:y= -4:4 or -1:1
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- with the help of 2nd equation we can solve the question.
so ans is statement s2 only.
x^2=y^2
x^2/y^2=1
taking sq.root
x/y=1/1
so ratio will be 1:1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans: x/y=-1
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- S2- X^2 = Y^2
X= Y
X/Y = 1
HENCE S2 IS ONLY ENOUGH TO ANSWER THE QUESTION - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
