Solution

The correct option is B 2,-1
32x + 33y = 21 ......(i)
33x + 32y = 34 .....(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i) we get
-x+y=-3
or y=x-3 .....(iii)
Substituting the value of y in equation (i), we get
32x + 33(x-3) = 31
or 32x + 33x - 99 = 31
or 65x = 130
or x=2
Then from equation (iii)
y=2-3=-1
