MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.If $\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x}+\text{y}&4\text{x}\\5\text{x}-7&4\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&7\text{y}-13\\\text{y}&\text{x}+6\end{bmatrix},$ then the value of x + y is:
  • A
    x = 3, y = 1
  • x = 2, y = 3
  • C
    x = 2, y = 4
  • D
    x = 3, y = 3

Answer

Correct option: B.
x = 2, y = 3
We have, $\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x}+\text{y}&4\text{x}\\5\text{x}-7&4\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&7\text{y}-13\\\text{y}&\text{x}+6\end{bmatrix}$
⇒ 4x = x + 6 ⇒ x = 2

and 4x = 7y - 13

⇒ 8 = 7y - 13

⇒ y = 3

$\therefore$ x + y = 2 + 3 = 5
