    Question

    The sum of square of two numbers X and Y is 85 and multiplication is 42. If X >Y then value of X-Y will be.

    A.

    D.

    1

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    X2+Y2=85X^2 + Y^2 = 85​​
    X×Y=42X \times Y = 42​​
    X > Y
    Formula Used:
    ​​​(ab)2=a2+b22ab(a - b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab
    Solution:
    Using (XY)2=X2+Y22XY:(X - Y)^2 = X^2 + Y^2 - 2XY :​​
    (XY)2(X - Y)^2​ = 85 - 2(42) = 85 - 84 = 1
    (XY)=1(X - Y) = \sqrt{1}
    (X - Y) = 1
    Thus, the correct answer is (d).
