Answer

Apply Componendo & Dividendo :

(5x+6y)+(5x6y)(5x+6y)(5x6y)=(5u+6v)+(5u6v)(5u+6v)(5u6v)5x+6y+5x6y5x+6y5x+6y=5u+6v+5u6v5u+6v5u+6v10x12y=10u12vxy=uv.\Rightarrow \dfrac{(5x + 6y) + (5x - 6y)}{(5x + 6y) - (5x - 6y)} = \dfrac{(5u + 6v) + (5u - 6v)}{(5u + 6v) - (5u - 6v)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5x + 6y + 5x - 6y}{5x + 6y - 5x + 6y} = \dfrac{5u + 6v + 5u - 6v}{5u + 6v - 5u + 6v} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{10x}{12y} = \dfrac{10u}{12v} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{u}{v}.

Hence, proved that xy=uv\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{u}{v}.
