Answer

Compounded ratio of x - y : x + y and (x + y)2 : x2 - y2 :

xyx+y×(x+y)2x2y2xyx+y×(x+y)2(x+y)(xy)(xy)(x+y)2(x+y)2(xy)111:1.\Rightarrow \dfrac{x - y}{x + y} \times \dfrac{(x + y)^2}{x^2 - y^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x - y}{x + y} \times \dfrac{(x + y)^2}{(x + y)(x - y)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(x - y)(x + y)^2}{(x + y)^2(x - y)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1 : 1.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
