C.

3

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).
