The correct option is D x>y
Equation I
4x + 3y = 40 ...(i)
Equation II
6x - 5y = 22 ...(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
4x+3y=40...×6
6x−5y=22...×4
i.e 24x+18y=240
24x−20y=88− + − ––––––––––––––––– 38y=152y=4
On putting the value of y in Eq. (i). we get
4x+3×4=40⇒4x=40−12⇒4x=28∴x=7
Hence, x >y
Alternate Method
4x+3y=40x=40−3y4
On putting the value of x in Eq. (ii), we get
6(x)−5y=226(40−3y4)−5y=22120−92−5y=22120−9y−10y=44−19y−76⇒y=4
On putting the value of y in Eq. (i). we get
9x+3(4)=404x=40−12x=284∴x=7
Hence, x > y
