Answer

Given,

4x+5y=7\dfrac{4}{x} + 5y = 7 …….(i)

3x+4y=5\dfrac{3}{x} + 4y = 5 …….(ii)

Multiplying eq. (i) by 4 and eq. (ii) by 5 we get,

16x+20y=28\dfrac{16}{x} + 20y = 28 …….(iii)

15x+20y=25\dfrac{15}{x} + 20y = 25 …….(iv)

Subtracting eq. (iv) from (iii) we get,

16x+20y(15x+20y)=282516x15x=31x=3x=13.\Rightarrow \dfrac{16}{x} + 20y - \Big(\dfrac{15}{x} + 20y\Big) = 28 - 25 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{16}{x} - \dfrac{15}{x} = 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x} = 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1}{3}.

Substituting value of x in (ii),

313+4y=59+4y=54y=594y=4y=1.\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{1}{3}} + 4y = 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9 + 4y = 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4y = 5 - 9 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4y = -4 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = -1.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
