Answer

Given,

[2xyx+y]=[99]\begin{bmatrix}[r] 2x - y \ x + y \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 9 \ 9 \end{bmatrix}

⇒ 2x - y = 9 …….(1)

⇒ x + y = 9 ……..(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2), we get :

⇒ 2x - y + x + y = 9 + 9

⇒ 3x = 18

⇒ x = 183\dfrac{18}{3} = 6.

Substituting value of x in equation (2), we get :

⇒ 6 + y = 9

⇒ y = 9 - 6 = 3.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
