On solving we get:
Step 1: Use the given information/equations and apply the substitution method.
The given system of equations is as follows:
Substitute into the above system of the linear equations as:
Now, multiply equation (1) by to get:
Similarly, multiply (2) by as follows:
Now, on adding equations (3) and (4), we get:
Substitute the value of into equation (2) as follows:
Step 2: Find the value of and
So, and . Thus, and .
Now, add the above obtained two equations to get:
Substitute the value of into .
Therefore,
So, the required value is . Hence, option C is correct.
