If x and y are real numbers and (2x - 1) 2 + (3y - 1) 2 = 0, then (1x2+1y2)=\Big(\dfrac{1}{x^2} + \dfrac{1}{y^2}\Big) =

Answer

Given,

⇒ (2x - 1)2 + (3y - 1)2 = 0

⇒ (2x - 1)2 = 0 and (3y - 1)2 = 0

⇒ (2x - 1) = 0 and 3y - 1 = 0

⇒ 2x = 1 and 3y = 1

⇒ x = 12\dfrac{1}{2} and y = 13\dfrac{1}{3}.

Substituting value of x and y in (1x2+1y2)\Big(\dfrac{1}{x^2} + \dfrac{1}{y^2}\Big), we get :

(1x2+1y2)1(12)2+1(13)2114+1194+913.\Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{1}{x^2} + \dfrac{1}{y^2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\Big(\dfrac{1}{2}\Big)^2} + \dfrac{1}{\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}\Big)^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{4}} + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{9}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4 + 9 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 13.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
