-
- From given options
if
X + Y = 6, then XY= 8 as X=4, Y=2 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(32) No(2)
- answer is 8
only 4 and 2 only will suits for X and Y - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(2)
- ans is (b)
x+y=6
4*2=8
4+2=6 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(3)
- from given options,,
X+Y=6 mens take X=4and Y=2 ow XY=8 so ans is 8 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- x+y=6
1/x+1/y=1/6
y+x/xy=1/6
6/xy=1/6
xy=36 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(7)
- 8 ans is 2*4 8

- Given x+y=6, Squaring on both sides
Then X2+Y2+2XY=36
the above condition satisfies only if x=2, y=4 or x=4 ,y=2
then xy=8.
answer is 8 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- x = 2
y = 4
x+y = 6
then
xy = 4*2=8 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- b. 8
X=4, Y=2
XY=8 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- many users gave solution as 8 and said that only (4,2) satisfies.
But they are wrong
(4,2)
(2,4),
(3,3),
(5,1),
(6,0)
and many more values that satisfies the x+y=6 equation in infinity since their domain is R.
hence the below is correct solution
x+y=6
1/x+1/y=1/6
x+y/(xy)=1/6
6/xy=1/6
xy=36 is the answer. - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
