Given,
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
⇒ x + 2y = 0 (…Eq 1)
⇒ 3y = -3 or y = -1
⇒ 4x = 8 or x = 2
Putting the value of x = 2 and y = -1 in Eq 1
⇒ x + 2y = 0
⇒ L.H.S. = 2 + 2(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 = R.H.S.
Since, x = 2 and y = -1 satisfies Eq 1
∴ x = 2, y = -1 and x - y = 2 - (-1) = 2 + 1 = 3.
∴ Option 3 is the correct option.
