Answer

Given,

Equations :

⇒ x + y = 2.1 ……….(1)

⇒ x - y = 0.3 …………(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we get :

⇒ x + y - (x - y) = 2.1 - 0.3

⇒ x - x + y - (-y) = 1.8

⇒ 2y = 1.8

⇒ y = 1.82\dfrac{1.8}{2} = 0.9

Substituting value of y in equation (1), we get :

⇒ x + 0.9 = 2.1

⇒ x = 2.1 - 0.9 = 1.2

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
